Re: cron job and php

Where is your php binary? (try "which php") The command path under crontab is not always the same as in a login shell, so you might need to spell it out like: */10 * * * * /usr/local/bin/php /home/harpreet/crontest.php -Steve On Tuesday, April 16, 2002, at 12:17 PM, Harpreet Kaur wrote:

Thanks Lisi. The use of php in front of the path made /home/harpreet/crontest.php run one time when run from the telnet prompt. But it still doesnt run from the crontab. I created a mycron.txt file with the below statement. The put crontab mysql.txt to specify the cron. But it doesnt seem to run this way. What am i doing wrong. Please help. Help is appreciated.

Can i run a php page using a crontab job. I am trying to do so but no luck. My cron job statement is : * * * * * lynx /home/harpreet/crontest.php Actually i want to run a script every 10 minutes to do some background job like we do in sql server. How can i do it with mysql and php.
