[SOLVED] Cron Job Help!!!

[wesley_morris2000]

I have a script that works great from the command line. I run this:

php vsp.php -l q3a-ut -p savestate 1 "ftp://8.12.16.171/q3/8.12.16.171:27960/q3ut4/ioUrTserver.log"

and it works fine.

I added it to crontab like this to run every minute:

* * * * * /var/www/vsp/php vsp.php -l q3a-ut -p savestate 1 "ftp://8.12.16.171/q3/8.12.16.171:27960/q3ut4/ioUrTserver.log"

didn't work!

Also tried:

* * * * * /usr/local/bin/php -q /var/www/vsp/php vsp.php -l q3a-ut -p savestate 1 "ftp://8.12.16.171/q3/8.12.16.171:27960/q3ut4/ioUrTserver.log"

Why does it work commandline, but not in cron?

Looks like problem,i encountered few months back

You said ,it's working from command line,first check which php is getting executed by running following command,

which php

Output of above command should give pathname of php working for you, use that path in crontab file.

Thanks for your help. I ended up getting it to work by using a bash script.
