It must be my age because I haven't seen a command line since my Apple][ days -- let alone one while doing web work. I'm sitting in front of my computer accessing my remote web site via ftp (GoLive) writing code and trying to set up a cron job using cpanel to run that code. Now, I have no idea of where I should type in "which php" -- I've tried putting it in my cpanel cron jobs "command to run" box, but that doesn't do anything. Does anyone have any reference material of where a "command line of the host" is? [/snip] Dagnabit! Contact your host provider, they will tell you.

If they offer a shell account. I *shudder* to think that as recently as 1999 I was administering a remote mail/webserver in the Pac NW from the center of the country via telnet. Possibly they offer access via ssh (Secure Shell), but a lot of hosts don't any longer --- many customers wouldn't know what to do with it anyway (heh, their loss), and some customers who *do* know how to use it are a tad too curious sometimes, I expect. I know I've seen more than one big hosting company act like such things didn't exist.... Kevin Kinsey
