Ensure you have specified the php program in the first line, I am sure you did this but here is how I do it. #!/usr/local/bin/php -q Make sure it is a fully specified pathname to the php executable. Crontab all too often does not have knowledge of your path environment so may get lost if you just say "php." Make sure you really do have a php executable. This is what will compile if you do not specify any configuration directives during the ./configure process. Tell us how you do. >- >-Regards, >-Sharat >- >- >-_________________________________________________________________ >-Join the world’s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. >-http://www.hotmail.com >- >- >--- >-PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) >-To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php >- ************************************** John Huggins VANet [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.va.net/ ************************************** -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
