Hi guys,

I'm getting many, many emails from my site with the subject:

Cron <cp7254@serv01> /usr/bin/wget -O /dev/null "http://theukuleleway.com/index.php?option=com_easysocial&cron=true"; >/dev/null 2>&1

The body of the message is:

execl: couldn't exec `/bin/bash'
execl: Resource temporarily unavailable

Is this something at requires action?

Thank you,

James
I think there is something wrong with your cron and it's best that you bring this up with your hosting provider as to why it is throwing the error couldn't exec /bin/bash

Thanks, Mark. But let me clarify: is this the correct command for my cron job?

/usr/bin/wget -O /dev/null "http://theukuleleway.com/index.php?option=com_easysocial&cron=true"; >/dev/null 2>&1

That is how it is currently set as per the ES documentation. Still getting a lot of emails bouncing.

Thanks,

James

This is how it should be:

/usr/bin/wget -O /dev/null "http://theukuleleway.com/index.php?option=com_easysocial&cron=true"; >/dev/null 2>&1

If you are getting bounces, it means the cron is running and probably your best bet is to check with your hosting provider
