In cPanel one can schedule cron jobs. In the command line box, what command do you enter to run a php script?

John answered:

Same way you run any other app. If it's in your path, you can just type the filename of the app, if not, give it the path... phpscript.php /path/to/phpscript.php

John: That was the first thing I tried, namely. email_me.php <-- it's just a script that emails me. Then I put in the complete url: http://www.xn--ovg.com/email_me.php Since then (following leads), I've tried these commands: GET http://www.xn--ovg.com/email_me.php php -f -q /home/tedd/public_html/email_me.php # /usr/bin/php -q /home/tedd/public_html/email_me.php /usr/bin/php -q /home/tedd/public_html/email_me.php /usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php -q /home/tedd/public_html/email_me.php /usr/local/lib/php -q /home/tedd/public_html/email_me.php /usr/local/lib/php -q -f /home/tedd/public_html/email_me.php and a couple of dozen others with a cron job to be run every minute -- and nothing has worked. I've been at this since late yesterday until 3:00 am and from 7:00 am to now. I have read scores of posts, articles, searched a dozen of php books, and couple of manuals and I can't get any suggestion/examples to work. If nothing else, at least I'm persistent. I just wish I could be right more often. Thanks for any suggestions. tedd

Is the script executable by the user you're trying to run it as? -- By-Tor.com ...it's all about the Rush http://www.by-tor.com
