@ descalzo - Great!

So despite my last post, not only has thund33r got a duplicate thread running, but now you've decided to make duplicate posts in both of them.

Hey, why don't we just fill up the forum with hundreds of these things?

Alternatively, can a Mod please close or delete this thread?

Banned for not noticing I had deleted my response in the other thread. :biggrin:

sry for double posting... can we continue here::drool:?

 

[descalzo]

Try:

* 5 * * * * "/usr/bin/php -q  /home/thund33r/public_html/ct.php"

1. You should supply full path to program (php)
2. You should quote the entire command.
3. ct.php should not be in public_html ... it allows someone to run it from the web.

Tnx for help I'l try now...
Edit:
Still not working...
Edit:
There's one more thing: I dont get the email everay time the cron is executed, shouldnt I get it if there is any error?

 

[descalzo]

/usr/local/bin/php -q /home/thund33r/public_html/ct.php

Not quoted, just worked for me.

Yes you should. Make sure the e-mail entered is correct.
