I cant seem to get CLI to get recognized during my cron jobs. I can get it to return just fine when I run the script from the terminal. Im using php_sapi_name() to return CLI. here is my cron script. * * * * * /usr/bin/ea-php71 /home/coin/public_html/cron/price_alerts.php >/dev/null 2>&1 I've also tried * * * * * /usr/bin/php /home/coin/public_html/cron/price_alerts.php >/dev/null 2>&1 * * * * * php /home/coin/public_html/cron/price_alerts.php >/dev/null 2>&1 It was kind of bazaar but I had my cron jobs work a couple times and it returned CLI but most the time my cron jobs just return cgi-fcgi

  Hi, Try below PHP executable path instead of what you are giving in it.. # /opt/cpanel/ea-php71/root/usr/bin/php Also, execute below command to see if there is any error: # /opt/cpanel/ea-php71/root/usr/bin/php /home/coin/public_html/cron/price_alerts.php

  So this worked! /opt/cpanel/ea-php71/root/usr/bin/php . But now my file paths for my includes are messed up. PHP Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required '../vendor/autoload.php' (include_path='.:/opt/cpanel/ea-php71/root/usr/share/pear') in /home/coin/public_html/cron/price_alerts.php

  Hello, You should use one of the following commands for PHP with your cron jobs: General example:
  /usr/local/bin/php /home/$user/public_html/path/to/cron/script
  Domain-specific example:
  /usr/local/bin/ea-php56 /home/$user/domain_path/path/to/cron/script
  In the above example, replace "ea-php56" with the PHP version assigned to the domain you wish to use. Look in the MultiPHP Manager for the actual PHP version assigned to a domain. Thank you.

  Yes if I /usr/local/bin/ea-php71 then my cron script won't recognize CLI. The only way I can get it to recognize CLI is by using /opt/cpanel/ea-php71/root/usr/bin/php. But now my includes paths are messed up.
