Topic : Cron Job Blues

Posted By: jficklin on November 25, 2015, 12:02 am

So, I've written a php script to delete files inside of a folder that I want to run as a cron job. When I run the script over SSH, it works great. As soon as I add it as a cron job on Webuzo, nothing happens. I'm wondering if this is some sort of a permissions thing or maybe just something I'm overlooking.

The cron job command is:

/usr/bin/php -q -d safe_mode=Off
/home/myusername/CronTest

This is the script I grabbed and customized from stackoverflow:

$files = glob('path/to/temp/*'); // get all file names
foreach($files as $file){ // iterate files
if(is_file($file))
unlink($file); // delete file
}

Hi,
please look here:
http://www.webuzo.com/wiki/Add_Cron_Job

In the screen are showed Cron are compiled with all *
Do you set a day and time for the cron job? Like every 5 minutes?

Can you post here a screen of your Cron Job page?
Maybe this can help better to understand what can be the problem.

If this not solve the issue maybe Webuzo Team can ask more information.
Thank you!
Have a great day!
