I am trying to set connect cron job via ssh server. i am using command but displaying " no such file or directory ". How can i do this ? Here is my command
/1 * * * * /var/www/html/mysite.com/cron/cron.php
I assume that you are trying to run this cron every minute. Looks like sh script is not getting the correct location of your cron file. I would suggest adding these lines in your cron job.
CRONPATH=/var/www/html/mysite.com/cron
*/1 * * * * cd $CRONPATH; php cron.php

I setup several cron jobs to make things work. laravel scheduler works perfectly but my other cronjobs not working at all.
*/2 * * * * /usr/bin/php /var/www/cronjobs/index.php
when I run on the console /usr/bin/php /var/www/cronjobs/index.php it works properly. I checked executable php path with which php and gives me /usr/bin/php nothing wrong with path afaik. I tried to run php script as apache user www-data I opened crontab with crontab -u www-data -e and paste command there.. it didn't work too.
I also tried send dummy notify with crontab and it also didn't work either
dummy example
* * * * * /usr/bin/notify-send 'test'
both of them doesn't work. What am I missing here ?
The second command will not send notification as cron have no idea of your desktop environment.
The first command probably use some environment variables. So instead of run in command line you can try to create a script:
#!/bin/bash
source /path/to/user/home/.bashrc #you can try also .bash_profile
/usr/bin/php /var/www/cronjobs/index.php
and your cron to be like:
*/2 * * * * /path/to/script.sh
I hava a php-email (phpmailer 5.2.14) script which work fine when I run it in bash:
pi#schnickschnack: php /var/www/html/email.php
when i run this script with cron (sudo crontab -e):
*/1 * * * * root php /var/www/html/email.php
syslog says...
Jan 22 08:53:01 Schnickschnack CRON[4482]: (root) CMD (root php /var/www/html/email.php)
...but I get no mail.
I have another php-script which works fine with crontab. this script inserts values from phpmodbus into a mysql-db...
does anyone have a hint why the mail-script does not work with cron?
try
* * * * * php /var/www/html/email.php
otherwise, cron tries to execute the command "root", which is not a command.
As you are running by cron, all your usual $PATH and ENV are not available.
So CRON has no idea where to find "php".
Depending on your install - determine location of the PHP bin:
which php
use the resulting path in your cronjob. eg:
*/1 * * * * /bin/php /var/www/html/email.php
** Unless intended, dont leave the email.php script where it could be run "unintentionally" by anyone simple hitting the webserver. email.php is certainly on script kiddies hit list.
I've been at this for hours and have tried everything with no luck.
I am basically trying to run this http://docs.phpservermonitor.org/en/latest/install.html#setting-up-a-cronjob
I'm using MAMP and my localhost is a custom folder under User/username/localhost/servercheck
What I've tried so far is.
crontab -e
added */1 * * * * root /usr/bin/php /Users/clientsupport1/localhost/servercheck/cron/status.cron.php
And when I type crontab -l to see if its loaded I see the following.
*/1 * * * * root /usr/bin/php /Users/clientsupport1/localhost/servercheck/cron/status.cron.php
But the script does not run. I even tried a simple script that writes to a file. Still nothing. For some reason the cron job doesn't execute. Any ideas?
You need to call MAMP’s PHP executable, which will depend on on the version of PHP you’re running. For 7.2.1, the following below would be the proper path
*/1 * * * * /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php7.2.1/bin/php /Users/clientsupport1/localhost/servercheck/cron/status.cron.php
I have a cronjob that runs the following:
* * * * * php /path/to/phpfile.php >> /cronlog.txt
when I run the php file in bash everything works, but when the cronjob runs it, one command fails:
shell_exec("redis-cli ping"); and returns an error that sh: 1: redis-cli: not found
Does anyone know why the cron user using PHP shell_exec would not be able to use the redis-cli command?

Did you check if your PATH variable is the same when cron is called.
A quick check is to add a dummy cron job to output the current environment variables passed to cron:
* * * * * env > /tmp/env.out
And then compare this output with when you run the env command from the terminal
try this solution:
cat cronjob
* * * * * php /path/to/phpfile.php >> /path/to/cronlog.txt
Then:
chmod +x cronjob
/etc/init.d/crond start #redhat based servers like centos
/etc/init.d/cron start #debian based servers like ubuntu
crontab cronjob
You can give absolute path of redis-cli to avoid any such issue related to environment variable.
I am trying to set up a cron job using a PHP script. This works fine on my computer running XAMPP but when I try it on my web host (Just Host) it's not adding it to the list of cron jobs. Here is the PHP code:
exec('crontab cronfile.txt');
cronfile.txt Contents:
* * * * * /usr/bin/php -q /home/-username-/public_html/cron/cron.php 1
This does however work when I add it through cPanel and I can view any cron jobs by using shell_exec('crontab -l'). Any ideas how to resolve this?
Most likely Apache is running as a different user than username, so it won't update usernames crontab file. Run the script
<?php phpinfo()
and verify which user Apache is running as.
On my system, I see the following
User/Group apache(48)/48
You should use this exec('crontab /tmp/cronfile.txt')
and it will work.
You can add every script to this file.
example:
touch /tmp/cronfile.txt
vi /tmp/cronfile.txt
* * * * * path-to-script
* * * * * path-to-script2
.
.
finally
crontab /tmp/cronfile.txt
crontab -l you will see your cron list
