Sorry, I am new to command line and cron jobs. Was probably a newb question, however, now it is saying that my database user is not allowed access. I have a mysql connection inside my script that reads the database to get user email addresses to send a reminder email to. Is there supposed to be a call or directive to load mysql in my command line as well? Man this is frustrating. Much thanks for your input!
