Cronjob not working

[danrulz98]

Hey,
I tried to set a cron to run every 30 minutes or so that would send me an email when a calender event came up.

0,30 * * * * /home/danrulz/public_html/cgi-bin/email.pl

I guess my first question would be: are crons allowed?

Yes, crons are allowed, as long as there's at least 5 minutes between each cron run.

I have no experience in perl scripting, but I'm sure there's someone else around here that does. It is likely that you need to have the path to perl included in the command (it is needed for executing php scripts in cron jobs).

/usr/bin/perl  /home/danrulz/public_html/cgi-bin/email.pl

Try using this command.

Also, sometimes x10 mail is put into spam folders or bounced completely due to spamming by some accounts.
