Hi There,

My ISP gives me limited access to linux cron tab. I have to use the (admin)panel for that.
He gave me an script that I can use to fire a php script.

You know the problem with most panels is that they can't deal with the info after the ? So the ?name=cron&pass=joomlapass&key=baOqAaKXce81made_up_key_DVDLiSiSuUR7 of the script below isn't given to the php parser. The result of this is that the script isn't properly run.

<?php
@include("http://www.mysite.com/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/bin/civimail.cronjob.php?name=cron&pass=joomlapass&key=baOqAaKXce81made_up_key_DVDLiSiSuUR7");
?>

To bad my php knowledge is almost zero.

Who can help me to add code to the script above to see if the cron is running.
I want some sort of feedback. (an email with the output or some confirmation)

I doubt that the script is oké becouse it doesn't schedule a mailing (and it should)

Any help would be welcome.

Edwin
