I am trying to write a cron job, I created a php file which will run every Tuesday and Sunday.
To test this I created a cron job which runs every 5 minutes. I have written a mail function inside it, but it looks like the cron job is not working as I have also updated my email id for the notification purpose.
Here is my cron job code and my php code:
3 * * * * php -q /home/jxxjordan/public_html/ospb2b/mycrons/depature.php
My php code:
$to = 'routemate.tech@gmail.com';
$subject = 'Marriage Proposal';
$message = 'Hi Jane, will you marry me?';
$from = 'depature@routemate.in';
// Sending email
if(mail($to, $subject, $message))
echo 'Your mail has been sent successfully.';
else
echo 'Unable to send email. Please try again.';
Is there anything wrong I am doing. I have got the cron job code from the in motion hosting forum.

Do you have errors in the logfile of the mail program (Something like/var/log/mail.log) or php? Also be aware that the script only runs at 3 minutes past the hour. For very 5 minutes you must replace the3by*/05.

Best to also just manually execute your departure.php script on the command line + verify all's well. Also append something like the following to your cronjob to capture output.... >> /var/log/departure.log 2>&1
