Cron does not work

[marcoslavorato]

Hello all. I have a problem configuring the crontab on my server. I follow this steps.

1. Edit using nano crontab -e command
2. Add this lines
Code:

0 24 * * * php /root/scripts/backup_mysql.php
15 * * * * wget -q -O /dev/null http://domain.com/cronjob/atualiza-horas

3. Save the file and run the /sbin/service crond start command

This both cronjobs does not execute. How can I make this work? The second cronjob is without the link.

You have to use the full path to applications in cronjobs. E.g. /usr/bin/php and not just php

Thanks till. And the second command, do you know why does not work?

Same reason. You have to use the full path for every command that you use in a cronjob. If you dont know the full path, then you can get it with the which command. e.g.

which wget
