[TYPO3-english] cli_dispatch.phpsh runs on command line but not cron?

[Scotty C]

Hi,

First and foremost, thanks for such a quick reply! To answer the bulk of your 
questions in short, yes I followed the manual to a tee. Specifically:

- _cli_dispatch backend user created (otherwise I'd get an error)
- My crontab looks like this (note: it does run because if I do something dumb 
like change a value, it will email me):
* * * * * /usr/local/bin/php /public_html/typo/typo3/cli_dispatch.phpsh 
scheduler
- cli_dispatch.phpsh is executable
- Everything in Scheduler Setup Check is OK
- I created another Scheduler job (send reports) and I don't get the reports 
either. It's as if the Scheduler is ignoring the cron altogether.

UPDATE!

I think I'm onto something! I originally had the scheduler frequency to be 86400 
(i.e. 24 hours) but the crontab was * * * * * (i.e. every minute). Well, I 
switched the Scheduler frequency to match the cron and it worked! This is off 
because I was under the impression that the crontab trumps the Scheduler 
frequency?

So essentially, this thread has now become a question of frequency and who has 
higher permissions - crontab or Scheduler?

Thanks!
-Scott.

Did you read the manual for the system extension 'scheduler'? You need a backend 
user _cli_scheduler. This can also be checked in the scheduler backend module in 
the "Setup check".

So, I assume that cli_dispatch.phpsh is marked as executable in your system.

The scheduler manual provides instructions for adding the dispatch script to a 
cronjob. Of course you need to adapt the paths to what they are in your 
installation.

Before trying to run the ics_awstats job you can also try one of the test jobs 
for the sceduler (such as sending you an email).
