Run PHP cli script as root?

0 votes
954 views

I have a cli script and I want to run it as root.

So I run "sh-3.2#BTO.php" when pwd is the directory containing the BTO.php script file.

The cli script resides in a server document root dir. It is for changing ownership to server user for specific named files.

I am informed that "BTO.php: command not found"

I don't do this often enough to be on top of the problem/solution

But I don't remember having this problem in the past. I have copied the document root dir and contents and installed the copies in another servers document root. Then I run this cli as root to change all the permissions to server user on new server.

There are no phantom spaces in the name and O is not 0 (zero) in the name, or vis versa.

Any other possibilities?

Have you chmod-ed your cli script into executable? (chmod +x filename.php).

After chmod it, you can call it by using command like:

server# ./BTO.php

Don't forget to add shebang line on your cli file that refer to php executable file location.

What is your first line of the PHP file? Does it contain the location to PHP executable binary (ex: #!/usr/bin/php)? If not you would need to run the php file as /usr/bin/php BTO.php.
