I have php /home/xxxx/public\_html/crm/app/console mautic:emails:process running as a cron.
instead of the cron running the command it returns a list of available commands. This is just the top half.
What am i missing?

Seems like PHP doesn’t recognize the command arguments. Make sure that [register\_argc\_argv](http://php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.register-argc-argv) is enabled on your server.
