If cpanel has a separate place where you can input environment variables, you can set the PATH environment variable there. If not, you can try to prepend it to the command line, like this: PATH="/opt/lampp/bin:$PATH" absolute/path/to/console/cake -app"/path/to/app" shellname Or you could write a wrapper script, like the one shown here: http://book.cakephp.org/view/1110/Running-Shells-as-cronjobs If "php" is already in the standard PATH on the server, then you might not need any of the above. -- Our newest site for the community: CakePHP Video Tutorials http://tv.cakephp.org Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://ask.cakephp.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.
