Issue In Cpanel Cron Job Php Code

[AnkitRauthan]

Well, I was trying to start a cron job in cpanel.But the php code is throwing error.The Code is:-

 

<?php
#!/usr/bin/expect
$line1=shell_exec('spawn ssh username@hostname');
$line2=shell_exec('expect "password:"');
$line3=shell_exec('send "mypassword"');
$line4=shell_exec('interact');
$line7=shell_exec('EOD');
#!/bin/sh
$line5=shell_exec('find srcdirectory -maxdepth 1 -mtime -1 -exec scp -r "{}" username@hostname:targetdirectory \;');
echo "<pre>$line1</pre>";
echo "<pre>$line2</pre>";
echo "<pre>$line3</pre>";
echo "<pre>$line4</pre>";
echo "<pre>$line5</pre>";
echo "done";
?>

 

The Error it throws me is:-

 

Error(s), warning(s):sh: 1: spawn: not found
sh: 1: expect: not found
sh: 1: send: not found
sh: 1: interact: not found
sh: 1: expect: not found
sh: 1: EOD: not found

 

Any Help will be greatly appreciated.Thanks

Your shell is /bin/sh which doesn't have those features. You might be able to do what you want by proc_open()ing /bin/bash and sending the commands through stdin.,

 

Or better yet, do the work using PHP.

Yeah,but I'm also using #!/usr/bin/expect.So it should not throw this error

Look at the line above.

See it? That means you're in PHP code. Not a shell. And the line later

#!/bin/sh
is entirely misplaced.
 

Either do the work in PHP or don't use PHP at all. The latter is an option since all you're doing with it is spawning processes and showing their output.
