    This is the first time I configure a cron job in a VPS server, I always used some GUI like cPanel to do that. I need to configure a cron job of Sendy (FutureSpark - Ideas for the future to send the scheduled newsletters. The command is this:

    */5 * * * * php /home/nginx/domains/nl.architetturaecosostenibile.it/public/scheduled.php > /dev/null 2>&1

    I used crontab -e to write that entry in the right place, and executing crontab -l my cronjob get listed.
    Using service crond status the cron deamon is running.

    Launching the php /home/nginx/domains/nl.architetturaecosostenibile.it/public/scheduled.php all works fine, but waiting for the cronjob doesn't run the script.

    What I'm wrong?

    Specifying the full path still doesn't work. This is the output of crontab -l

    */5 * * * * /usr/local/bin/php /home/nginx/domains/nl.architetturaecosostenibile.it/public/scheduled.php > /dev/null 2>&1

    I've gived a look on /etc/crontab and that command is not present. It's relevant?

    /etc/crontab not relevant just crontab -l output should be enough to see if cronjob is there

    check your /var/log/cron log for entries

    Code:
    tail -100 /var/log/cron
    filter for your script
    Code:
    tail -100 /var/log/cron | grep scheduled.php
