Is cron working?

what a long night/day - please easy my mind here

how do I know if cron is working?

what does cmd.php "do" /usr/lib/php -q /hsphere/local/home/kturner/bigkill.com/periodic/cmd.php

all i do is get flooded with emails stating

/bin/sh: /usr/lib/php: is a directory

TYIA

Have you checked if your usr/lib/php path is correct?

Have setup cron at your hosting admin?

/usr/lib/php is where the dolphin installation page told me.. so I used it.

Yes I do have cron set up in admin..

But all the emails say are "/bin/sh: /usr/lib/php: is a directory"

if you use ixwebhosting this is the correct path

/hsphere/shared/php5/bin/ph

Create a phpinfo.php file and upload it to your server. Now check that file in your browser or pm me the link to that file and i'll check.

1. Open up a simple text editor like Notepad or Textpad (not Microsoft Word or similar).

2. Paste in the following PHP code:

3. Save the file as phpinfo.php.

4. Upload to your webserver.

You can see your php config with this file. It will tell you more about paths etc. Just pm me if you still need help.
