you need to take the logs for the cron job . Most likely its a env variable issue as cron does not set your env variables by default. You need to check the cronrun log file to find the details . Defile the exact path instead of defining a variable.($HOME/my_script.sh )


PHP Code:
30 13 * * 1-5 $HOME/my_script.sh >> /var/log/cronrun 2>&1
change to
30 13 
* * 1-/USR/dir/my_script.sh >> /var/log/cronrun 2>&

hw_GetText - Retrieve text document

SYNOPSIS
int hw_gettext (int $connection, int $objectID, [mixed $rootID/prefix]) DESCRIPTION
Returns the document with object ID $objectID. If the document has anchors which can be inserted, they will be inserted already. This function will only work for pure text documents. It will not open a special data connection and therefore blocks the control connec- tion during the transfer. PARAMETERS
o $connection - The connection identifier. o $objectID - The object identifier. o $rootID/prefix - The optional parameter $rootID/prefix can be a string or an integer. If it is an integer it determines how links are inserted into the document. The default is 0 and will result in links that are constructed from the name of the link's destination object. This is useful for web applications. If a link points to an object with name 'internet_movie' the HTML link will be <A href="/internet_movie">. The actual location of the source and destination object in the document hierarchy is disregarded. You will have to set up your web browser, to rewrite that URL to for example '/my_script.php/internet_movie'. 'my_script.php' will have to evaluate $PATH_INFO and retrieve the document. All links will have the prefix '/my_script.php/'. If you do not want this you can set the optional parameter $rootID/prefix to any prefix which is used instead. Is this case it has to be a string. If $rootID/prefix is an integer and unequal to 0 the link is constructed from all the names starting at the object with the id $rootID/prefix separated by a slash relative to the current object. If for example the above document 'internet_movie' is located at 'a-b-c-internet_movie' with '-' being the separator between hierarchy levels on the Hyperwave server and the source document is located at 'a-b-d-source' the resulting HTML link would be: <A HREF="../c/internet_movie">. This is useful if you want to download the whole server content onto disk and map the document hierarchy onto the file system. RETURN VALUES
Returns the text document. SEE ALSO
