Am I correct in that this is the correct code to run Mystery Girl as a cron job? I'm on a Mac and set it with the terminal, but it didn't run last night (btw--MG runs okay manually)

It would be correct, providing that,

/home/mydomainname/www/cgi-bin/dada/plugins/dada_bounce_handler pl

Is the actual path to the script and you've changed the lib paths within the script itself You can figure out pretty fast if that's all correct by taking this part off:

/dev/null 2>&1

You should receive messages via email if something's not working

If you do have ssh access to your server, you can also run the command:

perl /home/mydomainname/www/cgi-bin/dada/plugins/dada_bounce_handler pl --verbose

and if something interesting gets printed out, then you're OK

I don't think I have a Cpanel based hosting account Or at least it doesn't look like it (Westhost) I did find a file named curl on the server, but I opened it and it's gibberish

It's gibberish, because it's binary - it's a program and not just a plain text file In fact, I have no idea how you actually opened it :)

Okay so I got the ssh test of MG through perl to work

/usr/bin/perl /home/mydomainname/www/cgi-bin/dada/plugins/dada_bounce_handler pl Content-type: text/html

So the path was right but the error on line 26 is this line

    26 use DADA::Config 3

0;

Can't find instructions for resetting that


Using outside config files, but frankly the time spent setting up and 
debugging is far more than just changing the settings of config
pm 
during an update
   This change to 3
0 including sql backend and 
outside config has eaten up a lot of time
