But he's already been born :) #1 Can you copy/paste the exact command from "crontab -l" without the first 5 "when" fields into a shell and have it work? #2 cron doesn't run in your normal shell with all the $PATH stuff. Use a full and complete path from / for every program and every file in cron jobs. /usr/local/bin/php /home/pruim/cronjob.php Also change any code inside of cronjob.php to use a FULL PATH to anything. You can never go wrong specifying the full path, unless the path itself is wrong. You start making assumptions in your code about cwd and all hell breaks loose, sooner or later. -- Some people have a "gift" link here. Know what I want?
