How Do I execute a .sh script using cpanel cron job

Question

Im very new to command line so please forgive my ignorance. I can succesfully execute my script using putty by navigating to the relevant direcotry and typing

bash app_auth.sh

I'm now trying to set this scipt to run using cPanel cron job. I have tried the following but it doesnt work:

*   *   *   *   *   /public_html/app/cron_jobs/app_auth.sh

Any help would be appreciated..

Though this thread is old but I found it unanswered hence replying.

Make sure that you have assigned execute permissions to your app_auth.sh file. Also, try setting the following cron:

* * * * * /public_html/app/cron_jobs/app_auth.sh > /home/YOUR_USER/cron.log 2>&1

Just for the record, I came across the same problem.

I found this webpage, which led me to do this:

/bin/sh /public_html/app/cron_jobs/app_auth.sh

And it worked fine!
