使用crontab执行php脚本不起作用

Question

I'm trying to execute a php script every day to send an automatic email to the clients that have contacted me. To try if it works I'm trying to execute it every minute. I have followed these steps:

1. whereis php prompts

php: /usr/bin/php /usr/share/php /usr/share/man/man1/php.1.gz

2. Then I make crontab -e and add a line:

* * * * * /usr/bin/php /var/www2/www/centros-sbc.com/public_html/mail/mail_automatico.php &>> /dev/null

Then I wait a minute and nothing happens. Have any idea?

Answer 1

Every minute is "* * * * *"

You've done "every hour at one minute past"

Answer 2

Have your tried /usr/bin/php -f /var/www2/www/centros-sbc.com/public_html/mail/mail_automatico.php &>> /dev/null

-f option is here to execute the file (your file) mail_automatico.php

Answer 3

1) check if your cron job is working (service crond status | systemctl status crond)

2) &>/dev/null is normally equal to > /dev/null 2>&1 . But some shells doesn't support it.

have you tried > /dev/null 2>&1 instead &>/dev/null ?

Answer 4

Finally I succeed by making it more simple:

• • • • • /usr/bin/php /var/www2/www/centros-sbc.com/public_html/mail/mail_automatico.php

Thanks to all
