Cron not Executing PHP script

Hello All!

I'm moving several sites from a Gentoo box to a RedHat Box. Currently I'm trying to get my cron jobs set back up.

I use webmin to set up my cron so I did so on the new server just as I did on the old server.

Through webmin, via command line (both using root) and through a browser, the following script works fine:

Code:

php -f /usr/local/apache/cgi-bin/digest_Deploy.php

And I receive the daily digest email as intended via class.phpmailer.php.

When it comes time for the cron job it executes as expected, but my script dies. From my cron log:

Code:

Aug 22 16:44:01 crucible crond[6462]: (root) CMD (php -f /usr/local/apache/cgi-bin/digest_Deploy.php          #Daily Digest)

Aug 22 16:44:01 crucible crond[6461]: (root) MAIL (mailed 32 bytes of output but got status 0x0001 )

Does anyone have any idea why this script works fine every time I execute it except through cron?

Thanks in advance,
Badnoodles

EDIT: Title should be "Cron not Executing PHP script properly"

It seems like it's having an issue sending the mail. Is it possible that some of the mailing variables depend upon environment?

i dont know if this is related, but when i am trying to backup my iptables through cron it does back the file up but does not give me a confirmation e-mail. I think this is due to some kind of timeout, when you type "iptables - L" there is a short delay before the info is displayed and this delay is the only reason i can find on why cron is not giving me my e-mail confirmation (everything that has no delay works just fine)...maybe there is a timeout/delay in the e-mail you are sending out therefor cron wont do it. that just a guess though.
