CRONTAB Help

[Kilroy85]

Trying to figure out how to run a php crontab.

Right now I am attempting to execute it every minute so that I can test to make sure I have the correct path, yet I am not getting an email telling me anything and it doesn't seem to be executing the script I want to run.

This is what I have in the webserver nfo control panel crontab:

MAILTO="myemailaddress"

1 * * * * php /home/[nfo username]/private/[what script I want to run.php]

I am sure I am jacking up the file path, but I am unsure how to test/fix it.

The path of the php binary has to be added.

1 * * * * /usr/bin/php /home/[nfo username]/private/[what script I want to run.php]

Make sure the crontab file ends with an empty line.

If you want it to run every minute, you have to put * for the minutes field. If you put a 1, it will only run at minute 1 of each hour (an hour starts at minute 0 and goes through minute 59).

* * * * * yourcommand

You should also use the full path to the php executable, as It'sRandinator suggested.

is the file path of /home/[nfo username]/private/[executable.php] correct?

Just trying to make sure it will be able to find the php file.

It is telling me:
Could not open input file:

Disregard all, figured it out! Sorry never used putty before but that helped me figure out the file path.

Thank you both for all the help!

I'm sorry, I should have noticed that -- the path should normally start with /usr/www/yourusername.
