So the problem I'm having is, I don't know how make the script executable from php. I need to reference the script, or put it into a folder that can run php from the ...

Cron stops running (no visible error) after a few hours when I add more than 5 jobs in my cron tab. Each job runs every minute.

I can't do that if I run it from cron. How can...

I have a rails app with the whenever gem installed to setup cron jobs which invoke various rake tasks. For reasons unbeknownst to me, each rake task gets invoked twice at precisely the same time.
