    Exclamation Cron Jobs on Stoli Server not Working

    I created the following cron job:
    Code:
    */5     *     *     *     *     /home/greeffq/public_html/sendmail.php
    It doesn't seem to work and I don't get an email conformation.

    Hi,
    How many times have you tried it? There are known issues with hotmail accounts, and potentially gmail. If you've been sending to one of those types of account, you may want to try sending to another provider.
    If it still doesn't work someone will investigate further.
    Also, if you exceed 100 messages in an hour, and following are blocked from being sent.

    -stpvoice.

    The sendmail script works fine, is my cron job correct?

    no, you actually need to tell the cron you want to execute that file with php...
    Code:
    */5     *     *     *     *    /usr/bin/php /home/greeffq/public_html/sendmail.php

    Hi Anna
    Thank you for the feedback.
    I changed the command and it works! Now that I look at it, it makes more sense.
