Have you tried cURL?

Do you need your host to activate them?

Perhaps its not enabled and for the love of Pete stop running crons in the wwwroot.

mysql_query('UPDATE `grpgusers` SET `awake` = "'.$newawake.'", `energy` = "'.$newenergy.'", `nerve` = "'.$newnerve.'", `hp` = "'.$newhp.'", `gcrime` = "0" WHERE `id` = '.$updates_user->id);

++$num_updates;	
}
file_put_contents('5mincron_check.txt', "{$num_updates} updates on ".date('l jS \of F Y h:i:s A')."\n");
?>

 

A bit more efficient, there is no need to select *(everything) in the grpg users as we only use the ID. Also, this outputs into a "5mincron_check.txt" file, each update that happens. So you can follow that to see if something is stopping or not.

Just as a reference for other people with this problem...

The cronjobs on cPanel, or anywhere else really, executes a command: a shell command.

The difference in methods of executing the files via various ways.

cURL / wget

When using something similar like below, an HTTP(web) request is sent to the scripts/web page:

curl http://your.domain.tld/scripts/your_cron.php # normally, an email sent if using cPanel when this is executed
wget http://your.domain.tld/scripts/your_cron.php # note, this will save the output into a file

 

This in essence is just the same as you opening up the URL in your browser.

It's not recommended to use this approach, as anyone with the URL will be able to execute the script as well unless you protect it(not worth the hasstle).

PHP

This approach is really the only way you should be using, it gives security in the sense that the script will not be executable through the webserver.

You would put the PHP file/script below(lower level in terms of directory) your web (root)directory, and issue a command that will call the PHP interpreter wit han absolute path to the file.

php -f /home/you/scripts/your_cron.php

 

No additional security is used for this approach, since no HTTP request is being made to execute the file.

Did you completely overlook what Spudinski stated above?

Ive updated my post, its merely going to output how many users it went through, but you will at least know the script "completed" it's cycle.
