Hi there! I have a cron job running a PHP script every five minutes; the PHP script executes two bash commands at the end of the script. I know the script is running due to a log file it appends to. When I run the PHP script manually via the Ubuntu Gnome Terminal both bash commands execute flawlessly; however when the PHP script is triggered via cron, the two bash commands are not ran. Any ideas?
$command = 'notify-send "' . count($infoleakPosts) . ' New Posts."';
`$command`;
$command = 'firefox http://example.com';
`$command`;
