Did you ever get this figured out? I am having the same issue and have yet to get a clear answer. It would be great to know what you did. - Thanx

Hello Ivaguff,

Changing your cron jobs to reference the file as Jacob has provided in his answer should fix the issue for you.

Hello CrackMasterK, and thanks for your question.

It appears you are running into a ModSecurity error, and actively editing your cronjob. I see that you at first had:

* * * * * php -q http://www.cimmarian.com/...


I see that you've now adjusted that to:

* * * * * php -q public_html/...


Are you still having ModSecurity issues now?
