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.
I have a number of PHP scripts that I would like to automatically run daily at midnight. I am currently running a VPS server but have no idea how to achieve this. I do have webmin on my sever but am unsure of what command I need to run.
*/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?
I want to setup a crontab to delete a file every 24 hours, I am not the best in crontab so was wondering if one of you could please give me the command I should use?
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.
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.
how to setup a cron job to copy files & directories from one folder to the root folder. I have CPanel X.
My root directory is public_html/ I have another directory public_html/uploads containing both files and directories.
I need a cron job that will copy all the files & directories from public_html/uploads to the root public_html/
If it helps, here is some system info

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:

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?
how I can execute memtest86 remotely without any KVM access. Is this possible? If so, how would I go about it? I run Debian 5.0 32bit with bigmem kernel (16x4GB Dimms)
