Re: Execute a PHP script from unix (crontab)

Hi First get your PHP script working correctly...;-) The use crontab to run lynx (as a browser that runs the PHP script for you). Here's an example crontab line (works for me) that even gets lynx to handle an .htaccess protected_dir ;-): 5 5 * * * /usr/local/bin/lynx -dump -nolog -auth=userid:passwd httpd://mydomain.com/protected_dir//myphpscript.php > /dev/null Hope that helps, Tom Henry Reductor wrote:
