Re: Scheduled Mailings Failure

Here's two things to check:

Did you set the cronjob?

And if you did, do you have access to the command line (via ssh?) If
so, try running the command that you've set in the cronjob right on
the command line and see if it works - odds are, if it works for you
on the command line, it'll work in the cronjob

For example, if you've set the cronjob to something like this:

*/5 * * * * /usr/bin/perl /home/youraccount/cgi-bin/plugins/ scheduled_mailings pl --run

Running it right from the command line:

prompt:]/usr/bin/perl /home/youraccount/cgi-bin/plugins/ scheduled_mailings pl --run

Should at least not give you an error You can also put the verbose
flag on:

prompt:]/usr/bin/perl /home/youraccount/cgi-bin/plugins/ scheduled_mailings pl --run --verbose

to make it give you some interesting things back

Another note about Beatitude - set the cron to about one half of the
period of time you want messages to be sent

For example, say I want to grab the contents of a website every hour
- but only if there's something new, I'd set the cronjob to check
every half hour:

30 * * * * /usr/bin/perl /home/youraccount/cgi-bin/plugins/ 

scheduled_mailings pl --run
