Question

In crontab, what does /usr/bin/php -f do? Specifically, the -f

Not sure what that does, but I'm seeing it in a crontab I've came across.

From man php: "You can parse and execute files by using parameter -f followed by the name of the file to be executed." — Jos, Mar 12 '18 at 17:44

   --file file
   -f file        Parse and execute file
