there is a possibility that the 'not found' is coming from your call to php and
not that it can't find test.sh
either comment out that php line, or use
/full/path/to/php /home/a_user/cron/test.php

I am having trouble configuring my shell scripts to run under cron (user
level, not root). I have set up a test.sh script which sends me an
email, it works fine from the command line (ssh). the script is as follows:
#!/bin/sh
echo "helloworld" | mail -s "helloworld" [EMAIL PROTECTED]
php /home/a_user/cron/test.php
As you can see I am also trying to get a php script to run (this is my
ultimate aim).
My crontab is as follows:
# /home/a_user
#
SHELL=/bin/sh
PATH=/home/a_user/cron
HOME=/home/a_user
#
#
#minute hour mday month wday command
#
#
*/5 * * * * /home/a_user/cron/test.sh
I have done the following:
$ pwd
/home/a_user
$ crontab cron/myCronTab
$ crontab -l
{output - see above}
Crontab is trying to run my script as I receive an email every 5 minutes
saying:
/home/a_user/cron/test.sh: not found
The permissions for the scripts are:
$ ls -lt cron/
-rw-r--r-- 1 a_user vusers 322 Sep 9 12:27 myCronTab
-rwxr-xr-x 1 a_user vusers 107 Sep 9 12:16 test.sh
-rwxr-xr-x 1 a_user vusers 99 Sep 4 17:58 test.php
Thank you in advance,
Sandy
