php cronjob problem

[graziano]

Hello

when I execute a php script using a cronjob in this way
/5 * /usr/bin/php /usr/local/script/myscript.php

It works without problem and execute each 5 minutes

If I use
/5 * /usr/bin/php /usr/local/script/myscript.php > /dev/null

it does NOT work ..

The script from command line works without any problem.

/dev/null works fine for all other cronjobs (perl and bash cronjobs).

I'm going mad , which could be the problem ?

I replicated the same problem on other 3 servers !

myscript.php is wrote with php 4.4.2 . I replicated the problem on a red hat server
and 2 Centos 4 servers.

/dev/null is important because I want avoid to receive an email notification each 5 minutes ...

Any idea ?
Regards

Try making the very first line of your script:

#!/usr/bin/php
<?php
// ... rest of script...
//

Make sure the script has execute permission, then just call it directly from your crontab:

*/5 * * * *  /usr/local/script/myscript.php > /dev/null
