cron when using wp cli

[WorkinOnIt]

I've installed WP CLI via root. User account has jail shell access. In the console, I can execute WO CLI fine. But when trying to set up a crontab within the user's cpanel - to execute a command from a plugin on a WP CLI site - I get following errors;

0,30

*

*

*

*

/usr/local/bin/wp --path=/home/accountusername/test.example.com/ import increment specials

Status: 500 Internal Server Error

So then I realised I need to run it like the below -

0,30

*

*

/usr/local/bin/php /usr/local/bin/wp --path=/home/accountusername/test.example.com/ import increment specials

but the result: Error: Invalid value specified for positional arg.




Any help appreciated.

I did look at these, but they have not helped:

Users cannot use WP-CLI in cron

Hello, I installed WP-CLI from root, I can use it from a user's terminal without problems, but when I want to use it in CRON, I get the following errors: PHP Warning: Use of undefined constant STDOUT - assumed 'STDOUT' (this will throw an Error in a future version of PHP) in...

Hey there! If you access SSH as that particular cPanel user and run "wp --info" does that return the normal information? Here is what I see when I run that command as a cPanel user on my personal server:

[username@host ~]$ wp --info

If not, it would be worth running "echo $PATH" to ensure that /usr/local/bin is included in the user's PATH, since that is the default location of the wp tool according to their installation guide here:
