Cron Errors

[bhmusa]

I just received two emails with what looks like errors and I have no clue what to do. I checked the board with no answers so any help would be appreciated.

 

First Email

Subject: Cron | php -q /home/bhmusa/public_html/client/pipe/pipe.php

 

/bin/sh: -c: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token `|'

/bin/sh: -c: line 0: `| php -q /home/bhmusa/public_html/client/pipe/pipe.php'

 

Second Email

Subject: Cron 0 9 * * * php -q /home/bhmusa/public_html/client/admin/cron.php

 

/bin/sh: 0: command not found

 

Thank you in advance for any help.

You will probably have to change the command so that it includes the path to php. Something like this:

 

0 9 * * * /usr/local/bin/php -q /home/bhmusa/public_html/client/admin/cron.php

 

(make sure that it is on one line and doesn't wrap)

It seems I was able to fix the email part but I still have one problem with the other cron. I added the path to the php all on one line:

 

0 9 * * * /usr/bin/perl/php -q /home/bhmusa/public_html/client/admin/cron.php

 

And I received this error via email

 

/bin/sh: 0: command not found

 

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Hey,

 

Why not use php -q instead of /usr/what/ever?

I was getting errors before so someone recommended the path be placed in.

Hey,

 

0 9 * * * php -q /home/bhmusa/public_html/client/admin/cron.php

This is what I had before and got errors also. Please see first post of this thread.

0 9 * * * /usr/bin/perl/php -q s

Is that really the path you used for the main cron?

Perl shouldn't be in there.

 

This is the cron command for piping mail:

*/5 * * * * php -q /home/username/public_html/whmcs/pipe/pop.php

 

You've mixed that up with the email forwarder method of using the "|" pipe.
