    I've installed one script [php script used for BH SEO purpose] , in which user manual suggest to set up a cron job for this line to execute after every 6 hours-

    php -q/home/myusername/public_html/rss_pinger.php [there is a blank space between php and -q]

    I've entered my email while setting up the cron to see the result and i am getting this error report after every 6 hours--

    Where i've gone wrong??:confused:

    looks like you really are missing a space:

    php -q /home/my_user_name/public_html/rss_pinger.php

    If need be put an extra space between -q and /

    Yes, maybe you missed some space, if it doesn't work you can try one of these commands.

    1. /usr/local/bin/php /home/username/public_html/yourfolder/yourfile.php

2. GET http://www.DOMAIN.com/yourfolder/yourfile.php > /dev/null

3. lynx -dump http://DOMAINNAME.com/yourfolder/yourfile.php > /dev/null

4. curl http://www.DOMAIN.com/yourfolder/yourfile.php > /dev/null

5. php public_html/yourfolder/yourfile.php

6. php -q /home/USERNAME/public_html/yourfolder/yourfile.php

7. cd /home/ USERNAME /public_html/yourfolder ; /usr/local/bin/php /home/ USERNAME /public_html/yourfolder/yourfile.php

8. php -f /home/www/index.php

9. php -q /home/username/www/yourfolder/yourfile.php
    Code (markup):
    Sometimes different hosting require a different cron commands, I have hosted my sites in a few different host and usually I use command number 4 or 6 to make the cron work.
