Can you check to see if the lack of a space between ‘\>’ and ‘/home/gbizituk/public\_html/cron.log 2\>&1’ could be causing it?

```auto
> /home/gbizituk/public_html/cron.log 2>&1
```

It may be that without that space, Linux is not recognizing it and thus passing it as an argument to the script which will then reject it as being unrecognized.

I even tried with just:

php /home/gbizituk/public\_html/mautic/app/console mautic:email:process

But the e-mail are still shown as “8 Pending”.

</div>

mautic:email:process is used to send email saved to the filesystem when the system is configured to Queue email. It does not process email lists. If you are seeing 8 pending, you have to manually initiate the list send by clicking Send form the email’s action drop down in the Email list or on the specific email’s detail page. List sends are not currently automated.

If you want an automated process, use a campaign instead and use the mautic:campaign:trigger command to process the campaigns.
