Cron Jobs Not Executing PHP Files
Jun 16, 2008
I have a new dedicated server and am trying to set up a cron job via CPanel on on of my accounts (we'll call it "abc" account).
In the Cron job area, where it asks for the command to run, I enter this:
/home/abc/public_html/forum/class/sendnotice.php
But when the job runs, it doesn't seem to be executing the .php file. Instead, I get stuff like this via email:
/home/acb/public_html/forum/class/sendnotice.php: line 1: ?php: No such file or directory
/home/abc/public_html/forum/class/sendnotice.php: line 2: ////////////////////////////: is a directory
/home/abc/public_html/forum/class/sendnotice.php: line 3: //: is a directory
/home/abc/public_html/forum/class/sendnotice.php: line 4: //: is a directory
/home/abc/public_html/forum/class/sendnotice.php: line 5: //: is a directory
/home/abc/public_html/forum/class/sendnotice.php: line 6: //: is a directory
/home/abc/public_html/forum/class/sendnotice.php: line 7: //: is a directory
/home/abc/public_html/forum/class/sendnotice.php: line 8: //: is a directory
/home/abc/public_html/forum/class/sendnotice.php: line 9: //: is a directory
So it is as if the cron job is reading each line of the .php file instead of just running it. Am I doing something wrong in setting up the cron job to run that file or could it be a configuration issue with the new server?

A very simple shell script that rotates log files of lighttpd server everyday becomes zombie after executing via cron. If executed directly in the shell it just dies normally. Tried to add "exit 0;" in the last line but the same effect...
An important notice: the script stops and starts the server, maybe it dies abnormally because it forks a process (lighttpd)?

Hey everyone, my friend's dad is looking for a web host that will allow his cron jobs to run every second. Most hosts apparently dont allow cron jobs faster than 5 seconds apart.
How often a host can run cron jobs isn't really advertised on their sites so I'm having a bit of trouble finding a host. I've resorted to just sending emails to sales addresses asking about it.
Does anyone know how I can find a host like this?

I have a machine, that for some reason stopped running it's cron jobs for some reason, and I can figure out how to get them working again.
My /etc/crontab file is as follows.
SHELL=/bin/bash
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
MAILTO=root
HOME=/
# run-parts
01 * * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.hourly
02 4 * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.daily
22 4 * * 0 root run-parts /etc/cron.weekly
42 4 1 * * root run-parts /etc/cron.monthly
Here are the contents of a sample user cron file.
MAILTO="USER"
10 4 * * * php -q -f /home/USER/public_html/tools/updtransfers.php /home/USER/public_html >/dev/null 2>&1
10 5 * * * php -q -f /home/USER/public_html/tools/updateexp.php /home/USER/public_html >/dev/null 2>&1
10 5 * * * php -q -f /home/USER/public_html/tools/invoice_cron.php /home/USER/public_html >/dev/null 2>&1
and another
*/5 * * * * /usr/local/bin/php -c /home/USER/php.ini /home/USER/public_html/poller.php > /dev/null 2>&1
I've checked my logs, and I can find no errors anywhere. When I run the commands manually via SSH, they work perfectly, they simply are not being run automatically the way they are supposed to be.
I have checked, and the crond service is running. I have tried restarting it, but it seams to have no affect. I really have no idea what the issue is. The only thing I seam to have found at one point, was the possibility that the files within the /etc/cron.d directory might be CHMOD'ed wrong, but I haven't found anything to confirm this either way.

Is there any software which would control cron jobs? I've a problem with cpu load where some customers are running more than enough of them at the same time.
Is there any software which would be able to:
If there are more than x crons running at the same time, put others in queue and execute after there are no more than x-1 are running?

We're running on Linux/Apache/MySQL/RoR and have a number of cron jobs that run throughout the day on our server. We've been noticing lately that at certain times of the day the site becomes really slow. When I'm online with my engineers I can mention this to them and they can check and see and say "Oh yeah, it's job XYZ that's spiking the server load."
That's great but much of the time when I notice the sluggishness my developers are offline (we're in different time zones). I'm wondering if there's a fairly easy way to track this when they're not online so we can say "Yup, last night at 10 PM your time when you noticed that it was job ABC." There has to be something that allows you to do this right?

How do you insert variables in cron jobs? e.g. the current date.
Let's say I want to back up a file and append the date to it.
0 0 * * * cp /some/file.txt /some/outputfile_[DATE].txt >/dev/null
(note that I'm not sure the cp will actually work like that, it's just an example)
Where outputfile_[DATE].txt has the date in it.
Are there variables cron can use for date, hour, minute, etc.?

This is on a RHEL 4 Box.
I want to create a cron job that deletes backup files that are older than 5 days. I have created a shell script (/usr/local/src/runjob.sh) that runs successfully from the SSH command line:
Code:
#pwd
/usr/local/src
#./runjob.sh
Here is the script:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
#
#
find /usr/local/apache/sites/*/BACKUPS/ -maxdepth 1 -atime +5 -iname 'test*.txt' -exec rm {} ;
Script has 777 permissions and is owned by root.
I have the following entry in crontab:
Code:
10 12 * * * /bin/sh /usr/local/src/runjob.sh >/dev/null 2>&1
As shown in the cron log, the job does run, but it does not delete the files. And there are files older than 5 days in the directory that meet the find criteria.

I'm missing files that the existing crontab requires. There are results on Google for it, but since the parallels' forum upgrade, all the Google links are dead...
The missing crons in question are:

Having this problem on chroot'ed sites in Ensim.
This is what I have in my php.conf:
Code:
[root@ns1 conf.d]# cat /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf
#
# PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language which attempts to make it
# easy for developers to write dynamically generated webpages.
#
LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so
SetOutputFilter PHP
SetInputFilter PHP
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
This prevents file.php.gif from executing in a non-chrooted site, but in my chrooted sites, file.php.gif will execute as a PHP file. Any idea why? Some other config I have to change?
