Cron Job Help

[smartcard]

I have a cron job that need to run the "update-quiet.php" file 30 minuts. I have the job as follows, but getting error "No such file or directory"

Please help me. I am on Cpanle04 server

/usr/local/bin/GET [url]http://mycorrectdomainname.com/feed/update-quiet.php[/url]

I'm not big on Cron, but check the buttom of {this page}.
Looking @ it, it seems if you put "30" for minute, * for hour, change the URL
I'd think it would run at 30mins every hour, every day...

Acutaly the problem is not timing, but it can be the commnd.

My real comman is like this:

30 * * * * /usr/local/bin/GET [url]http://mycorrectdomainname.com/feed/update-quiet.php[/url]

If the scripts on the server, why not just use PHP to execute the script?

php /path/to/script/filename.php

If you want it to be silenced, i.e. no output from the script is emailed to you, use the following.

php /path/to/script/filename.php > /dev/null

sdjl's way should work because that is how i run php scripts in cron.

Yes it works in that way

php /path/to/script/filename.php

Thank you.

Just in case you need to use URL, use "wget".

 30 * * * * wget http://mycorrectdomainname.com/feed/update-quiet.php

The direct execution method is more efficient method though if you want to execute a local script through PHP.
