How would I create a cron job that periodically checks for recent file changes on my web site similar to "find /home/userna5/domains/example.com/public_html/ -type f -ctime -1 -exec ls -ls {} \;". My emails from the cron job keep saying no such file or folder.

Hello,

Sorry to hear your code is not working when you run a cron. A cron is simply the timing of a script, it has nothing to do with the execution of the script other than kicking it off. Any errors you get for the script are code errors, not the cron itself.

Given the information provided, the path seems a bit off. That is not what our normal path structure looks like and I do not see that you customized the file structure in the manner the path represents. If you want to run something from the public_html folder, then the following would be an accurate path structure (replace userna5 with your own cPanel username):

/home/userna5/public_html/

Kindest Regards,
Scott M
