I've a problem (suprise) which I thought one of your first comments would solve. Unfortunatley it doesn't appear to have. My problem:- Cron 'Command to run': php /home/*myuser*/public_html/admin/includes/cronrefresh.php?fd_refresh=1 When I put this in and it runs I get an error email stating: /bin/sh: php/home/*myuser*/public_html/admin/includes/cronrefresh.php?fd_refresh=1: No such file or directory I've tried various other path permutaions but I'm sure this is the right path. I see that I'm getting the /bin/sh: in the error, but I never put this in the 'Command to run'. This would seem to me that the php is not being run. (I say this as you start off by saying a php command should start with 'php' and a shell script starts '/bin/sh') Have I guessed this correct and if so how do I get rid of the '/bin/sh'? Very many thanks Bud Hi

Thanks very much for your article.

I’ve a problem (suprise) which I thought one of your first comments would solve. Unfortunatley it doesn’t appear to have.

My problem:-

Cron ‘Command to run’:
php /home/*myuser*/public_html/admin/includes/cronrefresh.php?fd_refresh=1

When I put this in and it runs I get an error email stating:

/bin/sh: php/home/*myuser*/public_html/admin/includes/cronrefresh.php?fd_refresh=1: No such file or directory

I’ve tried various other path permutaions but I’m sure this is the right path.

I see that I’m getting the /bin/sh: in the error, but I never put this in the ‘Command to run’. This would seem to me that the php is not being run.

(I say this as you start off by saying a php command should start with ‘php’ and a shell script starts ‘/bin/sh’)

Have I guessed this correct and if so how do I get rid of the ‘/bin/sh’?

Very many thanks
Bud
