Having a really hard time getting this to run. I have configured civimail and cron jobs several times on our cloud server where I have full access to the crontab. We have 1 client on a separate shared server from Bluehost. Can't seem to get my scheduled jobs to run. I have tried a bunch of different ways to execute this and they still do not seem to run correctly.

/ramdisk/bin/php5 /home1/xxxxxxx/public_html/site/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/bin/cli.php -u xxxxxxx -p xxxxxxxxx -e Job -a execute

I have the cron job configured to send me an email each time it run. I am getting an email every time it runs but the jobs are not working. The body of the email message I receive is
Set-Cookie: PHPSESSID=68rq01cahn9ce9jbekbb8hnrk4; path=/
Content-type: text/html

/ramdisk/bin/php5 /home1/xxxxxxx/public_html/site/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/bin/cron.php -u xxxxxxx -p xxxxxxxxx -e Job -a execute

running this with cron.php instead gives me: ERROR: You need to send a valid user name and password to execute this file, although i am using the correct un and pw for a J super user

w w w.xxxxxx.com/site/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/bin/cron.php?name=xxxxxxx&pass=xxxxxxxx&key=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

This gives me a white screen and appears to have run, yet the jobs do not execute. Changing the key to something different gives me a site key error so I know something is happening here, job are not working tho.

w w w.xxxxxx.com/site/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/bin/cli.php?name=xxxxxxx&pass=xxxxxxxx&key=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Running this from the browser using cli.php give me this error:

The --action argument is required Usage: cli.php -e entity -a action [-u user] [-s site] [--output] [PARAMS] entity is the name of the entity, e.g. Contact, Event, etc. action is the name of the action e.g. Get, Create, etc. user is an optional username to run the script as site is the domain name of the web site (for Drupal multi site installs) --output will print the result from the api call PARAMS is one or more --param=value combinations to pass to the api

I am pretty much out of ideas on this one. Scoured google, civi forums, bluehost forums, IRC. Anyone got anything for me?

I am trying to run bounce processor, process mailing and process membership. When I run cron.php from the browser I get the white screen w/ no output and it appears that it runs, also changing the site key gives me an error. But my mem statuses are not updated and my mailings still say scheduled. Changing it to cli.php gives me the action argument is required error.

All 3 are enabled in civicrm>administer>system settings>scheduled jobs. They also all run if I do execute now.

For those interested : you need to modify two files as described in this post:

And everything works !
