Hello all, I don't know if it's the correct list, but as a php script is involved....

Nope, not the right list. Cron isn't running - which has absolutely nothing to do with php.

I try to start a set up a crontab job with crontab -e, which should start a php script: */10 * * * * cd /Users/yvan/Sites/est-pac/ ; /usr/bin/php /Users/yvan/Sites/est-pac/controller.php

You don't need the cd command, change it to: /usr/bin/php /Users/yvan/Sites/est-pac/controller.php also add a MAILTO="your_email_Address.com" at the top of the file in case it's throwing any errors. No idea where mac puts cron files but on linux systems it's usually /var/spool/cron/your_user_name (I'm guessing *bsd is the same but ask them). If you're still having problems I'd suggest asking a mac list. -- Postgresql & php tutorials http://www.designmagick.com/
