Rob,

I had a similar issue. What happened in my case is that I had the command to run as: http://www.team-projectx.com/cron.php instead of the var/home/www/teamproj/... (or whatever that path was at that time...)

Regards,

Kobus

The hosting server uses CPanel with a feature called Standard Cron Manager. It asks for:

Command to run:

It then asks for hourly, daily, etc. on the job to be done. I am able to manually refresh the news feeds on aggregator but it will not do them automatically. I have tried using various command lines such as 00 * * * * but none have worked. I get error messages by email from the server saying "No such file or directory". I am trying to figure out what to put in the command line box that will access the right area to automatically update the aggregator.

I have been trying to get Crontab to work on my site http://cmlhope.com but none of the commands listed in the help section have worked. I am trying to set it to refresh external news feeds X number of times a day.

You need to provide more details. Is cron.php being run? (check your logs) If so, your problem is not with cron.

Are there error messages in your Drupal logs or in system log files? Are you able to get the news feeds manually?

...

Could someone suggest what command would work best on this?
