My PHP Cron Job isn't Running

[rtrackx1]

So I've tried to follow this:
https://x10hosting.com/wiki/Cron_job#Samples

I need to run a cron job for my PHP file every ten minutes on my free hosting account. Here are my two current cron jobs that don't work:

*/10 * * * * /usr/local/bin/php $HOME/rate.php?id=r
*/10 * * * * /usr/local/bin/php $HOME/rate.php?id=t

x10hosting's free-hosting accounts Cron jobs may not request external content - and they can have only one (1) Cron job execution per five (5) minutes

you are trying to run (start) two (2) at the same time

OK, thanks for replying. I will try a different hosting provider then, as I my PHP scripts get data from an API using post and write to a file.

Our premium hosting does not come with the same limitation, this limit only applies to free hosting accounts.
