A cronjob only mails when there actually is output, which I'm fine with. In fact, when I run php temp.php from the command line, I don't get any output. But when it's part of the cronjob, there's that content-type output, which triggers mail to me. You mentioned a correct php interpreter above. Should I instead be running php through some other way or with a specific flag? Waynn
