i set up dadamail + the dadabridge on my domain so i can run a small discussion mailing list.

dadabridge instructions (http://dadamailproject.com/support/documentation-dada-3_0_0/dada_bridge.pl.html#configurating_the_cronjob_to_automatically_run_dada_bridge) say to use the url of the plug-in as my command to run. so that's how i configured it in cpanel's cron manager.

i went to the front end of my site and tested the url by going to the url of the plug-in (which works fine):

http://www.mydomain.com/clients/tribe/cgi-bin/dada/plugins/dada_bridge.pl

and that is exactly what i typed into cpanel's cron manager, and i told it to run once a minute.

however, once a minute, i'm getting e-mails that have just one line:

/bin/sh: http://www.mydomain.com/clients/tribe/cgi-bin/dada/plugins/dada_bridge.pl: No such file or directory

i don't know what to do...what did i do wrong here?

That's not relative; it's absolute. Relative  would be something like dada/plugins/data_bridge.pl.

"Cron" is a command line interface that doesn't have any idea that a server exists. It does not understand URLs such as http://www.mydomain.com/clients/tribe/... It only understands Unix/Linux paths. If you want to use a URL on a command line (such as in a cron job), check out "cURL". It may do what you want to do (at the cost of extra CPU cycles).

By the way, is this bridge something that needs to be run every minute, or less often, or even just once to configure the bridge? You run it too much and you could get your site suspended for using too many resources!
