what is correct php command for cron

[Shnacker]

I have php script file, actually a couple. Each is triggered by cron. In the cron command line I am successfully using:

/ramdisk/bin/php4 $HOME/scriptfile.php

You see the part that is "/ramdisk/bin/php4", that obviously works, but not sure if it is correct. I mean, now have switched to php5 as default on my account. So what should I use ... what's preferred ... what's best? I'd prefer using php5, or just the default for my account which is now php5 (scripts that end in .php and run thru php5 now).

Thanks.

This works for me

/ramdisk/bin/php5 /home/sitename/public_html/DirName/Example.php

/ramdisk/bin/php5 -q /home/sitename/public_html/myfiledir.php

worked for me I got a php5 -q in mine

What is the function of the -q?

[felgall]

q as in quiet - means to not output all the messages that you might otherwise have it output and send you via email. Instead only those lines you deliberately output from the script will be sent in the email and if you don't output anything then no email will be sent.

Could you also do this:

wget -q --delete-after some_script.php
