[cobalt-users] PHP files in the CRON folders

[Hamish Mackellar <hamish@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everyone,
Thanks for a wonderful mailing list!

This is my first question so please be kind, I have a PHP4 script that
simply adds data to my mysql DB.  I want it to run ever hour.  I have
extencive experience with php but not in programming within UNIX. Can
someone please show me a sample script that you would use to execute a php
script.  I tried using the following under root and saving it as a file
under etc/cron.hourly/test.pl the contents of the script are:

/home/sites/www.whatever.com/web/test.pl

I just get a heap of error messages send to the root account.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Kind Regards,
