What happens if you try to run your cron in a shell.

The best way to make sure any cron is going to work is to first try the command in a shell. If that works then use the command in a cron

I have been running the above code in a shell for about 3 days non-stop with no problem. I am still unsure of why I still can not do the same thing from a txt file but this seems to work well. There is no doubt that every server has there own personality its all a matter of finding out what works best on your server. Which sometimes can be nerve wrecking.

Thank You
