[PHP] Still no luck running a PHPCLI script from CRON
Ok, by looking at my cron logs it looks like cron is trying to run my PHP CLI script. However, it is not running it. I only have one line of code that isn't commented out and the line simply sends me an email using the PHP mail() function. Tom suggested that maybe the script is running, but cron may simply not be able to send email VIA the PHP function. I am not sure whether or not this may be true, all I know is that I can't run any PHP script from cron. The only reason I am trying to have cron send me an email is to check to see if cron was running my PHP script. My script is for batch order processing and it hasn't been processing my orders. After immediately realizing this I added the mail() function to see if the script was running. I got no email. I then eliminated the script down to just the mail() function be commenting out my batch order processing code. It still didn't run. Here is my cron log: Mar 3 09:05:00 prod /usr/sbin/cron[3124]: (user) CMD (/path/to/cron_script.file) Mar 3 09:06:00 prod /usr/sbin/cron[3134]: (user) CMD (/path/to/cron_script.file) Mar 3 09:07:00 prod /usr/sbin/cron[3141]: (user) CMD (/path/to/cron_script.file) Mar 3 09:08:00 prod /usr/sbin/cron[3148]: (user) CMD (/path/to/cron_script.file) I have tried running this as user and as root. I get the same results with both. Again, my PHP script runs fine if I run it by hand from the command line via ./cron_script.file Anymore help on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Re: [PHP] Still no luck running a PHPCLI script from CRON
Ok, by looking at my cron logs it looks like cron is trying to run my
PHP CLI script. However, it is not running it. I only have one line of
code that isn't commented out and the line simply sends me an email
using the PHP mail() function.
One thing to keep in mind when working with crontab is environmental
variables. As in, Cron has none. You have to set any you want in your
crontab, or your called scripts. For example, use full paths.
You shouldnt have to call a shell before calling the php cli. Here is an
example script for you to test. My php binary is in /usr/local/bin/php, my
script is /usr/local/crontab-scripts/wibble.php and the file I am writing
to is in /tmp/wibble.output
This is what wibble looks like [chmoded to 755, owned by the user of the
crontab]:
#!/usr/local/bin/php -q
?php
if ($fp = fopen(/tmp/wibble.output,a)) {
fputs($fp, Script Executed on .date(YmdHis).\n);
fclose($fp);
} else {
die(Could not open 'wibble.output' for read / write operations);
}
?
and the crontab line I have is:
* * * * /usr/local/contab-scripts/wibble.php
and you can see the output of it running every minute:
tail -f /tmp/wibble.output
Works fine for me ... try it

RE: [PHP] Still no luck running a PHPCLI script from CRON
Dan,
I used your example exactly like you have it specified. My cron log
looks like this:
Mar 3 15:53:00 prod /usr/sbin/cron[3085]: (root) CMD
(/usr/local/contab-scripts/wibble.php)
Mar 3 15:54:00 prod /usr/sbin/cron[3085]: (root) CMD
(/usr/local/contab-scripts/wibble.php)
However, it does nothing at all. It doesn't create the
/tmp/wibble.output file. After testing this, I went in and ran the
wibble.php script by hand from the command line and it worked just as my
scripts work when I run them by hand. I ran the cron as root and ran
the script by hand as root. I really think there is a bug somewhere,
either in FreeBSD or in PHP. I am not sure what it can be. All I know
is that other scripts like bash scripts run fine from cron. This
problem is really weird and I would truly appreciate any more assistance
in getting it resolved.
Thanks everyone,

[PHP] Still no luck running a PHPCLI script from CRON -- getting closer
I have my PHP script running from cron now as root, but when I try to
run it as a non root user it doesn't work. When I drop down to the non
root user and run the script by hand I get this.
/usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object libmysqlclient.so.12 not found
any ideas why this wouldn't not happen as root but does as a non root
user?

Re[2]: [PHP] Still no luck running a PHPCLI script from CRON
Hi, Monday, March 3, 2003, 2:54:47 PM, you wrote: JMC Tom, JMC Did you run the script from cron? If so, what operating system are you JMC using? Putting PHP info in my script won't do me any good since cron JMC won't run it. The trouble is that cron does nothing. When I run the JMC email script I get no mail. If I run the script from the command line JMC by hand ./script_name etc it works fine. JMC Any other ideas would be great. JMC Thanks JMC JMC X JMC Hi, JMC Monday, March 3, 2003, 6:33:46 AM, you wrote: JMC Does anyone have a PHP CLI script running from cron? JMC If so I would greatly appreciate any assistance. Below is JMC everything JMC from this on going problem. It seems none has an answer so far. JMC Please help. JMC JMC XXX JMC I tried to run the script directly from cron like: JMC * * * * * /usr/local/bin/php -q /path/to/cron/script/file_name JMC I also tried to run cron in the bash environment by writing a bash JMC script that calls my PHP script. I set cron you call the bash JMC script JMC every minute. The bash script contained the following information: JMC START SCRIPT JMC = JMC #!/usr/local/bin/bash JMC /path/to/PHP/script/file_name JMC = END SCRIPT JMC == JMC If I run the bash script from the command line it definitely runs JMC my PHP JMC script. I know this because my PHP script sends me an email. JMC Also, if I run my PHP script from the command line it also runs JMC fine and JMC I receive an email. However, anytime I try to run PHP script or JMC the JMC bash script from cron nothing happens. I get no emails. I also JMC know JMC cron is working properly because a regular bash script as I listed JMC in my JMC earlier posting works fine. JMC This is using the new CLI that come with PHP 4.3 I have in past JMC versions JMC of used the CGI from cron with no problems at all. As a matter of JMC fact JMC I have another server that does all its maintenance via PHP scripts JMC that JMC get ran by cron JMC Here is the PHP CLI cron script I am testing to see if cron will JMC run my JMC PHP JMC START SCRIPT JMC = JMC #!/usr/local/bin/php -q JMC ?
