Stopped working, rather. I found another solution that seems to have worked at http://www.fortasse.com/2010/01/tutorials/tutorial-automatic-backup-script/. Did Godaddy change the way their CRON jobs work? This didn’t work as expected for me. Stopped working, rather.

I have no idea what the path would be to the executable file.

If so, do you know the path? I've tried both /usr/bin/sendmail and /web/cgi-bin/sendmail and both failed. Do you know if you can use sendmail this way? If so, do you know the path?

How about setting up a PHP5 script to run as a cron job on a GoDaddy virtual dedicated linux server? Couldn't get anything to work except curl.. is there a performance issue when using curl with the full URL path to the PHP file, instead of relative paths of the interpreter and PHP file?

I was banging my head against the wall to find a way to back up all files in our GoDaddy Hosting account. Here's some more info regarding the syntax of running CRON scripts in GoDaddy. The Command field is the script or executable that runs at a specified frequency. Click Browse to locate a file in your hosting account. The full file name of your selection is placed into this editable field. Cron commands are typically script files that have executable permission and specify their interpreter as the first line of the file. For example, a first line of "#!/usr/bin/perl" directs the system to run the perl language interpreter for the file. Your Shared Hosting account supports the following languages and associated interpreter lines: * Perl: #!/usr/bin/perl * Python 2.2: #!/usr/bin/python2.2 * Python 2.3: #!/usr/bin/python2.3 * Python 2.4: #!/usr/bin/python2.4 * Ruby: #!/usr/local/bin/ruby * Bash: #!/bin/bash The installed versions of PHP 4 and PHP 5 do not support the interpreter specification in a PHP file. In order to run a PHP script via Cron, you must specify the interpreter manually. For example: * PHP 4: /web/cgi-bin/php "$HOME/html/test.php" * PHP 5: /web/cgi-bin/php5 "$HOME/html/test.php5" Note: In this example script, "$HOME" represents the full path to your Shared Hosting account. The actual path to your account will be provided if you select the script from your account using the Browse button. Thanks for the tip.
