Linux托管中的Cron Job命令

Question

I have linux hosting on godaddy and I m trying to execute php file through cron command. But its not working. Can anyone help me out from this ? Thanks in advance.

Cron Command Code :

/usr/local/bin/php -q /home/user/folder/file.php

Answer 1

Make sure the cron deamon is running and the correct user is running it. You can try:

systemctl status crond.service

If it's not running, start it:

systemctl start crond.service

Make sure the deamon starts on reboot:

systemctl enable crond.service

Make sure your path to PHP is correct. Check the path:

whereis php

Your cron command looks incomplete (missing the run intervals). Like so:

* * * * * /usr/bin/php -q /home/user/folder/file.php

Those asteriks denote the run intervals. Use a tool to help you determine the proper run intervals. Like this one:

Run crontab under the correct user and edit the cron command. For example, here we'll edit the crontab for apache:

crontab -u apache -e

Hope that helps!
