cron setup error
« on: November 23, 2004, 09:56:10 pm »
Hello Dean!

I have it setup so far but get error when trying to setup cron on control panel page.

Here's the error

Bad character in script name. Please check again

I am almost there  :?

Thanks

You could try omitting the following from the end of the cron task:

1> /dev/null 2> /dev/null

It's simply used to suppress output.  Your host might have disallowed the ">" character.

This is the only script it will allow me to enter.

/home/public_html/mail/dailymail.php

if I try to add anything else I get bad character error.

will the cron job still run properly?

got it working using only

public_html/mail/dailymail.php

no password needed.

I did dailymail send test and received the notice completed.
