I have a bash script which utilizes a random function and then runs a file at now plus a random time.
The problem is, that the php file requires a parameter after it eg:
When i put in the file including the full path, with the at command, it will run, but not with the parameters.
eg:
This spits out a file not found error. But if I remove the $uniquenum variable, it accepts the code, but of course the php file doesnt run correctly.
Even if I hard code the "?code=123245b3", using no variables, it still spits out the file not found error.
How can I get the parameter passed to the file?
I just realised that I need to use php in front of the file to get it to run, but php doesnt accept the parameters either.

rand
rand(3C)rand(3C)NAME
rand(), rand_r(), srand() - simple random-number generator
SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION
uses a multiplicative, congruential, random-number generator with period 2^32 that returns successive pseudo-random numbers in the range
from 0 to 2^15-1.
can be called at any time to reset the random-number generator to a random starting point. The generator is initially seeded with a value
of 1.
returns a random number at the address pointed to by the randval parameter. The seed parameter can be set at any time to start the random-
number generator at an arbitrary point.
Note
The spectral properties of leave a great deal to be desired. provides a much better, though more elaborate, random-number generator (see
drand48(3C)).
RETURN VALUE
If seed or randval is NULL, returns 0. Otherwise, returns a psuedo-random integer.
EXAMPLES
The following:
int x, y;
srand(10);
x = rand();
y = rand();
would produce the same results as:
int x, y, s = 10;
x=rand_r(&s);
y=rand_r(&s);
WARNINGS
Users of should note that rand_r() now conforms with POSIX.1c. The old prototype of is supported for compatibility with existing DCE
applications only.
