Hi PN8830,

It might be a syntax issue that you're talking about. '/usr/bin/php /absolute/path/to/script.php' actually works if you type it in a console window. But i'll give the '-f' tag a try and see how it goes (day off today at work, woo hoo!).

To vbe,

Are you referring to defining environment variables inside the PHP script itself? what sort of variables should be defined in the script? As for the whole path to the script, i use a PHP command 'getcwd()' which fetches the absolute path to the script. And I append that to the start of any exec() call.
i.e.
Code:
$cwd = getcwd(); 
exec("$cwd/scriptName.php");
