[PHP] executing php scripts via cron
Hi there, I am trying to run a php script via cron. Problem is, that it does not work if I include the whole path in crontab Currently it looks like: 0 6 * * * php /home/www/project/app_cron/follow_up_new_members.php /dev/null Most likeley because the webserver root for the project is: /home/www/project/ So if I go into this dir and execute: php app_cron/follow_up_new_members.php it workes. But not with the full path. What do I have to enter into crontab? It obviosly does not work with the full path, but how to change into the directory via cron first? Thank you for any help, Merlin -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

It is probably because the cron daemon cannot find the php binary in its path try it like this... 0 6 * * * /full/path/to/php/binary/php /home/www/project/app_cron/follow_up_new_members.php /dev/null hth rich -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] executing php scripts via cron
Merlin, 0 6 * * * php /home/www/project/app_cron/follow_up_new_members.php /dev/ null That looks right to me, have you tried executing the command with the full path? I have a couple of php scripts running as cron jobs and web scripts... Also try php -q scriptname -q is for quiet which suppresses the html headers -- Thank You, Clifford W.
