Code:

65 * * * * /home/blabla/script.php

is wrong

now I try

Code:

*/65 * * * * php /home/blabla/script.php

"php" is for run php code

for example to run a shell script for restart webserver when down I use

Code:

*/5 * * * * root /root/restartWEBscript.sh >/dev/null 2>&1

I don't think 65 is a valid value?

5 * * * * /path/script.php

will tell cron to run every 5 minutes past the hour.

I'm almost positive I don't have php infront of my cronjob on my server. When I get back on the work PC. I'll check it out. I'm prob wrong.
