Cron Job on hostgator

I'm trying to set up a cron job can someone tell me if i have the file path right
usr/local/bin/php /home/xxxxxxx/xxxxxx/xxxxxx/components/com_craigslistautoresponder/craigslistautoresponder.php

 

try below:

php -q /home/xxxxxxx/xxxxxx/xxxxxx/components/com_craigslistautoresponder/craigslistautoresponder.php

It should work.

I think should be:
/usr/bin/php /home/xxxxxxx/xxxxxx/xxxxxx/components/com_craigslistautoresponder/craigslistautoresponder.php

 

Actually, it's:

/usr/bin/php -q -f /home/xxxxxxx/xxxxxx/xxxxxx/components/com_craigslistautoresponder/craigslistautoresponder.php &>/dev/null &

 

It be the safest to just use php which will use the PHP CLI. So doing php -q which in most cPanel machines will link back to /usr/local/bin/php . /usr/bin/php on most systems is actually the CGI version which seems silly to run since you're on the command line and should use the command line interface PHP

 

Thanks people for your advice.

I forgot the first / before usr/local/bin/php

Well this works for me so i'm gonna stick with it.
