it's better to do something like 0,10,20,30,40,50 * * * * /usr/bin/php -q /home/you/yourscript.php > /dev/null
since crontab actually stores the result of it's operations in a file (/home/you/Mailbox?) so you will bloat your server if you don't clear the output. alternatively, use "yourscript.php > /home/you/logfile" and send the output to a text-based logfile for later analysis, then just make sure you aren't using <b> and stuff in the log :) HTH /beau // -----Original Message----- // From: Marco Eyzaguirre [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] // Sent: Friday, 21 December 2001 3:28 AM // To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] // Subject: RE: [PHP-DB] Run php page automatically // Importance: High // // // do this (crontab file) // // 35 23 * * * root lynx http://www.host.com/dir/file.php // -accept_all_cookies // // it's work! // marco // // -----Mensaje original----- // De: Harpreet [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] // Enviado el: Jueves, 20 de Diciembre de 2001 02:21 p.m. // Para: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] // Asunto: [PHP-DB] Run php page automatically // // // I would like to create a php page that would automatically // run every 10 // minutes or so to delete records from a table.
