cron.php error in CE6.1.2

[ww]

I added a job in crontab: * * * * * cd /SugarCE; php cron.php /dev/null 2>&1
but no scheduled job is running, then
I did the following test:
run command in SSH: ~/sugarCE/php cron.php
get the error message:Parse error: syntax error,unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in sugarCE/include/utiles.php on line2609

I am not sure it is a bug or I did something wrong.
Please help me out.

Problem solved.
Because both PHP version 4 and 5 are available in my hosting, the default one is version 4, but sugar need version 5. I have to change the cron job from * * * * * cd /SugarCE; php cron.php /dev/null 2>&1
to * * * * * cd /SugarCE; php5 cron.php /dev/null 2>&1. My hosting company is 1and1, for other hosting might be use other alias.

Thanks for all the replies.
