Just some closure on my crontab question: 1 - Since my linux box has Plesk 7 (PSA) and it already had php installed on it I guess php is installed in the "/usr/local/psa/admin/bin/php" directory. Pretty sure atleast since the below crontab command is now executing my script: /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/php /home/httpd/vhosts/tgwedding.com/httpdocs/tgwedding/crontab.php
I believe traditionally php is installed in "/usr/local/bin/php" but I could be wrong...this is what was throwing me off. 2 - Tim, you were right, all stars will make the crontab run every minute on my linux box -----Original Message----- From: Tim Traver [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, June 27, 2004 1:17 AM To: Ryan Schefke; Php-General-Help; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PHP] Crontab PHP Script Not sure if this is different in linux, but usually the first parameter is the minutes, and if you had 01 in it, that means that it would do it once an hour (i.e. 12:01, 1:01, 2:01, etc... They should all have stars to do it once a minute. In freeBSD, it would look like this : * * * * root /usr/local/bin/php home/httpd/vhosts/tgwedding.com/httpdocs/tgwedding/crontab.php Tim.
