Here it is: http://bin.cakephp.org/view/608307067 The code for the actions 'lof' and 'sendMail' also exist in my controller. I was testing via a URL to debug the database fetch and sending of the message. It works there very well. I am trying to automate the process and would then take the code out of the controller. Hopefully it is not too fouled up. Thank you for taking a look! If you want, you may e-mail me directly if this clogging up your blog entry too much. Thank you! Sure! Here it is:

Mind putting it up in a pastebin? That error tells me that there’s something wrong with the class definition of the shell. Mind putting it up in a pastebin?

I ran this command from Terminal using your input above: /home/myusername/myproject.mydomain.com/cake/console/cake reminders lof -app /home/myusername/myproject.mydomain.com/app The entire contents of the shell were displayed on the terminal console screen and then this: Error: Class RemindersShell could not be loaded[monrovia]$ Monrovia is the name of the server I am assigned to on Dreamhost. Hmmm... Is this a symptom of not having cake in the path for my user id? My user id has shell access with a shell type of /bin/bash, whatever that means. I very much appreciate your help! Incremental progress…

/home/myusername/myproject.mydomain.com/cake/console/cake reminders lof -app /home/myusername/myproject.mydomain.com/app

Monrovia is the name of the server I am assigned to on Dreamhost. Hmmm… Is this a symptom of not having cake in the path for my user id? My user id has shell access with a shell type of /bin/bash, whatever that means.

I very much appreciate your help!

The first path needs to be the path that leads to cake_core/console/cake. In your case, that would appear to be: /home/myusername/myproject.mydomain.com/cake/console/cake Let me know if that helps. Also, the second path should include your app directory. Sorry I didn’t catch it the first time. The first path needs to be the path that leads to cake_core/console/cake.

Wed, 03 Mar 2010 16:13:49 +0000 http://www.utoxin.name/?p=91#comment-174 Getting closer! I was able to do as you suggested. I didn't know I could log in via Terminal (OS X) to Dreamhost. My revised cron job command looks like this now: /home/myusername/myproject.mydomain.com/vendors/shells reminders lof -app /home/myusername/myproject.mydomain.com Dreamhost is sending me a message that ../vendors/shells "is a directory", but the shell does not appear to be running. When I run the command from the command line in Terminal I get the same message: "is a directory". Again suggestions ObiWan? Getting closer!
