Script wont run in cron

[Aerosmith]

I have a cgi script that will run just fine when I type the URL in to the address bar of IE. This same script is not being recognized when I try to call it from a cron job. Is this the correct syntax to call a cgi?

/home/xxxxxx/public_html/cgi-bin/script.cgi


If this looks OK can you give me an idea of what else may be causing issues like this?


^A^

have you tried this?

root perl /home/xxxxxx/public_html/cgi-bin/script.cgi

That didnt work either. Can you use root user in crom like that? I woudl hope not. If so you could do some pretty malicious stuff.

You'd only need to put root in if you were running the script as the root user. You're obviously trying to set up a cron job as some other user.
