Description of my issue:

After upgrading to 3.5.0 I have reset my cron jobs, I tried native cron but I got the following error in the log files

WARNING |120517 04:20:37|PHP WARNING on line 190 in file /home/.../public_html/libraries/joomla/database/database/mysqli.php:
WARNING |120517 04:20:37|mysqli_ping(): Couldn't fetch mysqli

I then switched to the alternative cron and this works ok, however, both jobs seemed to ignore the profile switch and fired the profile 1 job instead of 2?

/usr/bin/php5-cli /home/.../public_html/cli/akeeba-altbackup.php -profile=2

I've removed the '...' directory name but apart from that this is the command run, have I missed a typo in the switch part or something?

Cheers again for your time!

Hope you are enjoying J and Beyond :-)

Hi Nicholas,

I knew it would be something simple!

You might want to update the sections in the documentation as I copied the commands from those pages and they show a single dash (both native and alternative).

Thanks again for your time,

Cheers,

Dave
