Hi Phil, A cron job needs a correct terminal command. If you can type it in your terminal (e.g. over ssh) and don't need to enter a password and other additional information then you can also use it as a cron job. I wonder if it would work if you start your script with
#!/path/to/lc/server <?lc put "Hello World" ?> A cgi script should include a path too: #!/path/to/cgi/engine put "hello world" -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkprogrammer KvK: 50277553 Become our partner in sales http://qery.us/1bq Start selling Color Converter today. 20% commission!
