Cron Setup in OS X Snow Leopard Server
January 21, 2011, 11:53:04 am


I have set the following cron job up in the shell using crontab -e

30 * * * * curl --silent --compressed http://example.org/cron.php
*/5 * * * * curl --silent --compressed http://example.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/bin/civimail.cronjob.php
0 * * * * curl --silent --compressed http://example.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/bin/EmailProcessor.php

The top cron job, for overall drupal site, fires successfully, but the others don't. This has been created in the shell in one document. Is this the problem?

Please read this page:

http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC33/Command-line+Script+Configuration

You need a few additional parameters when launching a civicrm command line script

The following was entered using crontab -e
*/5 * * * * curl --silent --compressed http://example.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/bin/civimail.cronjob.php?name=user&pass=pass&key=key

It is still not firing though.

Problem solved. I had to rework the http script for it to run in the shell. I added a '\' before the '&' in the script so that it looked like this

*/5 * * * * curl --silent --compressed http://example.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/bin/civimail.cronjob.php?name=user\&pass=pass\&key=key
