I have a pretty simple db back-up script that runs perfectly from shell.
php /home/db_backup/db_backup.php
When I attempt to add a Crontab, I get the vague 'Bad Command errors in crontab, can't install."
I've tried w/ php and full path to php.
which php
returns /usr/bin/php
* 1 * * * php /home/db_backup/db_backup.php
* 1 * * * /usr/bin/php /home/db_backup/db_backup.php
Both return the same error.
Centos 6.6. logged in as root. Editing crontab thusly
crontab -e
Spent too many hours trying to get this working. What am I missing?
