Path to the executable file

Path to the executable file

To find out the full path to the executable, e.g. to put it in the configuration file of your CMS or a cron job, you need to connect to your server console via SSH and run the command:

whereis name_application

For example, to find out the full path to your php executable:

whereis php
php: /usr/bin/php /usr/share/man/man1/php.1.gz

Here /usr/bin/php is the full path to the executable php you need.
