[PHP] php as cron
I'm trying to test php running as a cron job and I have installed php as a CGI in /usr/local/bin and I have edited my crontab file to call a php file every two minutes. However, it's not working and I was wondering if you all would know what's going on. Anyway, here's how I have things set up. crontab file: */2 * * * * php /home/crontest.php /dev/null crontest.php: #!/usr/local/bin/php -q ?php mail([EMAIL PROTECTED],cron test, testing,NULL); ? email I'm receiving with error: Subject: Cron php /home/crontest.php /dev/null Body: /bin/sh: php: command not found thanks for any help.
Re: [PHP] php as cron
Hi You probably need to set the path to your PHP binary in crontab. Alternatively (this is probs a better way), wrap the whole lot up in a simple shell script and get cron to run the shell script. It's easier than it sounds... #!/bin/bash cd /path/to/php/scripts php myscript.php /dev/null (also, I tend not to have PHP direct output to /dev/null, but to configure cron not to send emails on completion - that way you get the info when you run the script on the command line but dont get overrun with pointless emails) Hope that helps :) -- Shane On Monday 10 Dec 2001 5:54 pm, Jay Paulson wrote: I'm trying to test php running as a cron job and I have installed php as a CGI in /usr/local/bin and I have edited my crontab file to call a php file every two minutes.

RE: [PHP] php as cron
Good day, Doesn't having the statement #!/usr/local/bin/php -q at the start of the program makes running php (rather than the script itself) redundant? Why not just call the script in the crontab?

RE: [PHP] php as cron
Good day, Calling another program with this script is unnecessary, since you are using the shebang operator. Instead of: */2 * * * * php /home/crontest.php /dev/null Use: */2 * * * * /home/crontest.php /dev/null Which should work just fine. As pointed out, the reason you were getting the message was because cron is not able to find php because /usr/local/bin is not in the path. If you really want to use it, then the following: */2 * * * * /usr/local/bin/php /home/crontest.php /dev/null would also work. You could remove the #! line in your script if you do so.

Re: [PHP] php as cron
If you're partial to the approach of using a web-based program to do this (often a bad idea, for security reasons) then look at 'curl' or 'wget' instead of 'lynx'. (you can find them on Freshmeat.net) Much better is to build the CGI version of PHP, and use PHP as a script processor just like Perl, Korn, BASH, etc., i.e. #!/path/to/php.cgi -q ...script goes here... - Tim http://www.phptemplates.org - Original Message - From: AJDIN BRANDIC [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 22, 2001 4:28 AM Subject: RE: [PHP] php as cron Hi again, this is what I have done, as adviced by you guys (thanks) created a file called pop which contains #! /bin/sh lynx -dump http://192.168.254.10/pop3/pop3_stuff2.php3 /dev/null clear If I execute this from the shell ./pop it works OK.
