I’m on GoDaddy shared hosting. I’ve tried all sorts of formats but keep getting this: Could not open input file: /xxx/public\_html/mautic/app/console mautic:email:process --env=prod Could someone tell me the appropriate script I need to run? Here’s an example of one that failed: /usr/local/bin/php -q “$home/xxx/public\_html/mautic/app/console mautic:leadlists:update --env=prod” ---

php /home/xxx/public\_html/mautic/app/console mautic:leadlists:update --env=prod ended up working for me. I cannot for the life of me figured out how I managed to screw that up. Thank you for your patience! ---

Proper format should be , just copy paste the below line in cron jobs. Below are the setting used in godaddy by me on a test machine: php /home/xxx/public\_html/mautic/app/console mautic:leadlists:update --env=prod This one used in namecheap: php /usr/local/bin/php /home/xxx/public\_html/mautic/app/console mautic:leadlists:update --env=prod Please make sure you are adding php in front, and try without -q. If all fails check with godaddy customer support, it could be the fact that “enhanced security” option might be checked. ---
