[FX.php List] Running a FM script in FM 7 Server Adv ?

[DC]

yes,

first (as a test) run this in terminal from the machine where the cron 
job will reside:

curl "http://domain.com/file.php"

if you get the source of the web page back, you're set for the next step.

next try this command in cronnix:

curl -s "http://domain.com/file.php" > /dev/null

-s flag tells curl to be silent and the > /dev/null part tells cron not 
to send annoying emails about the success of a particular run of this 
script.

enjoy!
