What error message do you receive when you try to use your crons?

I don't even get a mail I think my command is wrong. Can someone please give me a working command. My website is god-father.exofire.net I am a great coder and I will share my text-based RPG files with you if you help me with my cron problem.

This section of the forum is for general hosting account questions. If you need help writing or using crons, you will probably get a better response if you ask for help in the Programming Help section.

Hello, what is the command you are using to execute your crons currently?

 

[admin500]

i use the command http://god-father.exofire.net/cron_fivemins.php?code=***
it comes no such file or directory plus there is no *** i have a code but don't wish to share it in public here is the email i get
/bin/sh: http://god-father.exofire.net/cron_fivemins.php?code=***: No such file or directory

I think the problem is you cannot run remote files. When you use the http://domain.example you are telling cron to run a remote file. Try using /home/admin500/public_html/cron_fivemins.php?code=***

 

[admin500]

thanks i will tell u if it works
Edit:
still i get this mail
/bin/sh: //home/admin500/public_html/cron_fivemins.php?code=***: No such file or directory

 

[garrettroyce]

did you put two slashes in front of home?

//home

 

[admin500]

Yeah

 

[Jarryd]

Remove the first slash, it should only be one / before home. let us know how that goes.

Using a script as the command name only works if the script begins with a shebang line pointing to the command line php interpreter (e.g. /usr/local/bin/php) and the script has executable permissions (mode 750). However, scripts don't process QUERY_STRING when run from the command line, so you won't be able to use $_GET or $_POST, or any other magic globals, such as $_SERVER, so the shebang line and permissions are a dead end.

You've got two options: use wget (or curl) to fetch the URL or pass the arguments on the command line and read them from $argv in the script. If you need to be able to access the script as a page via the web, use the former method. Otherwise, use the latter, which is less resource intensive.
