i create a simple cron job by editing /etc/crontab as following:

*/2     *       *       *       *       *       php /Users/min/Documents/testcron.php

and the testcron.php is simple as:

<?php

$fd = fopen("/Users/min/Documents/testcron.txt", 'a');
fwrite($fd, "test--cron--\n");
fclose($fd);
?>

then simply save the crontab file and hope magic happen, but nothing happened. i even run the command manually and it worked.

php /Users/min/Documents/testcron.php

anyone have any idea? Thanks
