cron job not working

[seanpeace]

I keep getting these errors in my Sugar Log and the scheduler is not working.

Sugar Log

Mon Jul 27 11:18:02 2009 [16168][1][FATAL] ----->Scheduler Job FAILED

Here is my crontab file

# /etc/crontab: system-wide crontab
# Unlike any other crontab you don't have to run the `crontab'
# command to install the new version when you edit this file
# and files in /etc/cron.d. These files also have username fields,
# that none of the other crontabs do.

SHELL=/bin/sh
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin

# m h dom mon dow user command

I also went to the command line, went to the directory Sugar and put in the command

php -f cron.php > /dev/null 2>&1

and I got the error

-bash: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'

Also, my schedules are all active. Specifically is was not sending out the campaign emails this morning.

Run Nightly Mass Email Campaigns On the hour; From 02:00AM to 06:00AM 01/01/2005 01:00AM - 12/31/2020 12:59PM Active

any help is appreciated.

Hi Sean

Did you run this command "cd /var/www/seanpeace/data/www/songvest.com/Sugar"

Before running this one "php -f cron.php > /dev/null 2>&1"?

The error message does not look like a trivial php error message.
Did you customize any sugar script, installed any upgrade patch or package?

Cheers

[seanpeace]

No, I have not done anything custom and any upgrades where run via the upgrade manager in the admin.

Also, yes, I was in the right directory.

I did just try this command.

php -c /usr/lib/php/php.ini -f cron.php

and there were no errors, but when I run

php -c /usr/lib/php/php.ini -f cron.php > /dev/null 2>&1

I get the same error

[seanpeace]

Ok, I checked where my php.ini is to confirm and it was wrong.

Here is the correct path. Although it still doesn't work. I have Debian Linux


cd /var/www/seanpeace/data/www/songvest.com/Sugar; php -c /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini -f cron.php > /dev/null 2>&1

[andopes]

What is the output if you run only:

php -c /usr/lib/php/php.ini -f cron.php

or

php -f cron.php

Cheers

[seanpeace]

When I run

php -c /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini -f cron.php

I don't get any errors. I have put that into the cron job and it is still giving me the errors.

How can I test it?

[seanpeace]

Here is the email I got today from the cron job with the error

/bin/sh: line 1: 1622 Bus error php -c /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini -f cron.php > /dev/null 2>&1
