Running "/usr/bin/php-cli -v" from command line will show you the php version that's running on the server, i.e:
Serbans-MacBook-Pro:~ cristi$ /usr/bin/php-cli -v
PHP 5.6.30 (cli) (built: Feb 7 2017 16:18:37)
Copyright (c) 1997-2016 The PHP Group

So i can redirect the output of this command to a file, like this:
/usr/bin/php-cli -v > /the/path/where/i/want/to/send/this/output
Now, on the server, at /home/baypark/newsletter.pemawellness.co/apps/common/runtime/application.log is the application log, so i try to log the php version in the file, from a cron job that runs each minute, so basically by adding this cron job:
* * * * * /usr/bin/php-cli -v > /home/baypark/newsletter.pemawellness.co/apps/common/runtime/application.log
I am expecting to get some output in the file.
But i get absolutely none, which means the cron job never gets triggered, so the cron does not run on this server.
And if they need more, show them the cron jobs history from the application. The cron jobs ran just fine till 7th of May, then from that point onwards, no cron job ever ran properly, sign that your hosting did something.
