Hi Ali,

Yes - I came across all those as well - but they are from many years ago - and there were differing views as to how to solve the problem.

I've followed the steps documented in http://www.sitepoint.com/php-command-line-1-3/

ie. I included the file cli_compatibility.php at the top of the runcronjobs.php file but I still got the same error message when trying to run the runcronjobs.php script. 

I was wondering what the current agreed solution to the problem is...

Surely there must be a lot of other developers that have found themselves experiencing this problem during the last year or so.

Hi Robin,

I'm using cPanel so yes I can schedule PHP scripts to run.

I tried your workaround but I got the following when I ran the runcronjobsfrequent.php script:

Your script returned the following:

Is there anything else I can try please?

Hi Robin,

Line 142 reads:

   for ( $i = 1; $i < count( $argv ); ++$i )

Hi Robin,

Has anyone been able to shed anymore light on this please?

Am I right in thinking that the following info in the cronjob notice indicates that the notification emails aren't being sent?  If so - I wonder if this will help to identify why the emails aren't being sent.

Checking for workflow processes<br/>Status list<br/>Workflow event deferred to cron job(4): 6<br/><br/>0 out of 6 processes was finished<br/>

If I goto the 'Workflow Processes' page within the Setup section of the web site's Admin area I can see the items listed.

I'd really appreciate any help you or your colleagues can give me.

Thanks,

Andy
