      I just changed the job to include my username. We'll see how that goes.

        Maybe its something to do with the mailto variable.

        I don't think that is the issue, as I didn't add that. The only part I added was the command.

        I configured this to run at 11AM EST (16:00 UTC) and will report back a few minutes.

          @dustinb3403 /usr/bin/php isnt a user. I think you need to quote up.

                  Have you tried that command under root crontab?

                    Have you tried that command under root crontab?

                    Stepping into su and running the command words.

                      su root
                      > pass
                      /usr/bin/php /var/www/html/snipeit/artisan snipeit:expiring-alerts
                    

                    So this has to be with the way I have it configured. I wonder if I need to create a bash script, and simply have cron call that rather than using the lines like above in cron. . .

                    If I do then the documentation is misleading. . .

                      I've created a simple script and have cron set to run the script at 11:35AM. So I'll see if that works.

                      Executing the script from SSH works without issue. . .

                      So we'll see. . .

                        Ok and that is what it was.

                        Simply needed to make a bash script out of it and have it scheduled to run, rather than using the commands directly in cron.

                        Problem solved.

                        Solution:

                        pwd
                        /usr/bin/local
                        touch expiring-alert.sh
                        vi expiring-alert.sh
                             /usr/bin/php /var/www/html/snipeit/artisan snipeit:expiring-alerts
                         sudo vi /etc/crontab
                             35 * * * 1 <user> /usr/local/bin/expiring-alert.sh
                        

                        Presumably changing this to be @daily or @weekly would work as well.

                          MOst of the time that is how I have it setup on my crontab, same for my certbot scripts too.
