Hello.  I am attempting to setup cronjobs for civimail and EmailProcessor on a site running 4.1beta.  I have read and followed the instructions on flossmanual with no success.  I tried moving the appropriate files from /bin/depreceated/ back to /bin and the jobstill failing, I believe due to the changes to cli.php (I am getting a message from cli.php stating that I need to specify an action).

Can anyone tell me how I would setup a cronjob under the new cli.php?

Thanks.

I read the link posted by kurund but it did not seem to address the question by the op, or one of my own:

What took the place of the EmailProcessor.php script in 4.1?

How are we to use cron to ensure emails get processed in 4.1?

Following for update on how to set up the cron jobs. Got a beautiful instal that at the moment has to send mail manually

I am running on a joomla 1.7 upgraded civi version. Following the instructions on  wiki.civicrm.org (slash) confluence (slash) display (slash) CRMDOC41(slash) CiviMail+Installation


When running the script:
PARAMS='-j -smysite.org -umyuser -pmypass -e Job -a process_mailing'


I get:

It appears that the first 'line 125' notices are coming from the site user and password issues. Is this the wrong configuration for joomla? Alternatives? Can I use Curl instead?
What is the next step?
