Hey everyone, I have a quick question. I'm not sure if I'm doing anything wrong.

I have scheduled task to run as part of the "world map plotter" hack. It seems really simple to set up the task. I did it just as instructed, but it's not running as scheduled. It's strange I can run it manually, but it doesn't run as scheduled. The setup is as follows....


Title : World Map Plotter

Day of the week: *

Day of the month: *

Hour: *

Minute: 15,30,45,59

Log Entries: yes

File Name: ./includes/cron/wmp.php

This is driving me nutty. It doesn't run at all unless I run it myself. If I look in the scheduled task log I see nothing for that task.

are you sure it's not running as opposed to failing when it runs ?

I have the same problem, except when I try the "Run Now", I get presented with a download box from Firefox. I can execute the other cronjobs manually without an issue.

__EDIT__

Well, I reinstalled it again, but before executing it, I ran dos2unix on all the PHP files. Now when I run it manually, I get "World Map Plotter - Done." However, the images aren't generated... so at least I'm a little closer.

well it definitely runs when I do it manually so I would assume it's not failing. I get expected result when running manually. It just will not run as scheduled.

Very strange
