cron problem - permission denied

[binman]

sorry to bother you. I have tried to set up a cron job using /home/sites/xxxxxx/public_html/news/admin/dir_importrss.php

But it isn't working - the email notification reads:

nice: /home/sites/xxxxxx/public_html/news/admin/dir_importrss.php: Permission denied
any suggestions?

Try this ...

php /home/sites/xxxxxx/public_html/news/admin/dir_importrss.php

It needs to know where php resides.

sorted - thanks :D
