I am running a cron job that goes to a page every 12 minutes and runs that, which in turn runs a PHP script. When I go to that page via the url in a browser there is no problem, the site continues to run smoothly. When it is executed via the cron job, the server reports this error:
[Sat Oct 27 08:15:59 2012] [warn] child process 1042 still did not exit, sending a SIGTERM
[Sat Oct 27 08:15:59 2012] [warn] child process 649 still did not exit, sending a SIGTERM
[Sat Oct 27 08:15:59 2012] [warn] child process 1193 still did not exit, sending a SIGTERM
The script is sending posts (with links) to twitter every 12 minutes. Could this have to do with Twitter's API?
Also here is an example of my cron job, I have tried many different ways:
*/2 * * * * /usr/bin/php5 /var/www/application/tweeter_omg.php
*/15 * * * * /usr/bin/wget -q http://sitename.com/tweeter_omg
