RE: [PHP] Cron time to activate mail and error handling

[snip] 1. We want to activate cron to wake up at certain time. We do not know how to configure the time for waking up? [/snip] cron should be "active" all of the time. Type; ps aux | grep cron and you shold see cron running as a daemon [snip] 2. We are sending mails using PHP program. PHP program is activated Cron. We want to know wheather the mail was sent successfully or not. How do we know about the success and failure [/snip] Put your e-mail address at the end of the list to make sure that you receive a copy of the e-mail to be sent. Or put in a process to send you an e-mail at the end of the PHP script notifying you that the job is complete. As to "successful" are you meaning whether or not the receipient got the e-mail? Check for bounced e-amils?
