Hello,

1)/home/user/turns.php
2)/domains/sub.domains.com/public_html/turns.php


3)/usr/local/lib/php /home/user/domains/subdomain.domain.com/public_html/turns.php

Use

/usr/local/bin/php /home/user/domains/subdomain.domain.com/public_html/turns.php

Insted of

/usr/local/lib/php /home/user/domains/subdomain.domain.com/public_html/turns.php

You should always use the DA control panel instead of Webmin when creating cronjobs. DA staff has posted previously that they don't support the use of Webmin with DA.

Help with cron job please

I've tried every format I could find in this forum and still cannot get my cron job to execute. I've even tried to edit crontab and crond but nano says that it has converted the file from mac and all i see is gibberish.

This is what I am trying to do:

/usr/local/bin/get '/home/divine/divinelighting.com/public_html/googlefroogle.php?feed=fy_uy_tp'

I've also tried such things as:

/usr/local/bin/php -q home/divine/divinelighting.com/public_html/googlefroogle.php?feed=fy_uy_tp

and

/usr/local/bin/php /home/divine/divinelighting.com/public_html/googlefroogle.php?feed=fy_uy_tp

Among others. Any help is appreciated.

You cant add the "?feed=fy_uy_tp" part on the end. You will have to find another way to run it.

 

[divinelighting]

Is there some way I could use the wget command?

 

[divinelighting]

Seriously, I've been trying to get this cron job running for a year now. Any help is appreciated.

so just change feed= to an argument

/path/to/file.php <feed-stuff-here>
