CRON JOB does not work

[SharkyLV]

Hi.
I am trying to get my cronjob work but I cannot. All I need is to run php file in time interval.
For example I made new entry which runs every 30 mins

php-cron  /home/juicysvr/public_html/corn_j.php

but it does not work.
I suppose it does not send email either.

It is really important and I would be really appreciated if someone helped me.
Thank you very much.

For starters I think it should be:
/usr/local/bin/php -f /home/juicysvr/public_html/corn_j.php
Also, it looks like you misspelt cron as corn, so that could be another problem.

If the paths, etc are wrong, then he should still get an email from the crondaemon.

Seems like cron jobs on at least Lotus and Chopin are not running.

I am on cossacks server. And with /usr/local/bin/php -f /home/juicysvr/public_html/corn_j.php it still does not work.

if i put php require function in corn job file (corn_j.php) should I use ordinary require("file.php"); or should I use some different for example require("/home/juicysvr/public_html/file.php"); ?
(if file.php contains some db connection functions.)

As mentioned, it seems cron is down on some servers, so it is very likely that your problem is arising from that.

is there any chance to solve this problem?
