I have 500 php files i want to make a crontab to run them automatically (they store XML data in my database) my problem is :
when I make a crontab for each php file it works fine. the command like this:
* * * * * php /home/username/public_html/codes/php0.php
But when I want to run a shell script including all my php files like this :
* * * * * bash /home/username/public_html/codes/php.sh
it does not run.
php.sh:
#!/bin/sh
php php0.php
echo php0
php php1.php
echo php1
php php2.php
echo php2
.
.
.
Is it possible to wrap php files with bash script? and if yes why does not work am I miss something?
You are probably not running in the directory you believe you are.
So replace temporarily #!/bin/sh
with #!/bin/sh -vx
and add a
pwd
at the beginning of your script (that is, the 2nd line)
Then perhaps add a
cd /home/username/public_html/codes
or maybe define a variable and use it:
mycodedir=/home/username/public_html/codes
php $mycodedir/php0.php
echo php0
etc...
I suggest to read the advanced bash scripting guide (even if it does have weaknesses).
At the moment, you have relative paths in your php.sh
. The following line
php php0.php
means that php
will look for the php0.php
file in the current working directory. In a cron job, the working directory is usually /
, ie the file system root. To check what the working directory really is, you can use the pwd
command.
So your php.sh
script looks for a file php0.php
in your file system root, but the file is in /home/username/public_html/codes/
.
If you use absolute paths in your php.sh
, the current working directory does not matter. So simply add absolute paths in your php.sh
. The file will look like this:
#!/bin/sh
php /home/username/public_html/codes/php0.php
echo php0
php /home/username/public_html/codes/php1.php
echo php1
php /home/username/public_html/codes/php2.php
echo php2
.
