Teddy,
Thanks for that. I finally got around to trying your suggestion on the
server today, and it works beautifully. It's a php file I wanted to
periodically execute, so the second suggestion worked. But all works nicely
now. lol Just hope it won't hammer my band width too much, grin.
cheers,

More fun than a revolving door!

If you want to run a program with cron, you need to give it the location
of that file on the hard disk, like
/home/user/program
or to run it with php, do something like:
/usr/bin/php /home/user/program.php
If you want to just make a GET call to a certain web page, you need to use
a program for this, like lynx or wget.

Subject: Cron demon says no such file?
Hi guys,
I have just set up my first cron job on the server that hosts my file.
It's set to fire off a php script every hour. I've given the cron handler
the absolute web address of the file, i.e the whole
http://www.simonsgames.com/blah/blah.php. While I know for a fact this
file exists there, (I can navigate to it from the web perfectly), cron
demon insists on arguing that it isn't. And I quote, "No such file or
directory". So my question to you guys is, what am I doing wrong? Should
I specify a relative address from the cron? Or just an address from the
domain onward? *looks confused, perplexed and all that kinda shtuff*
Thanks as always, in advance for any help with this.
Cheers,
Simon
