I ran phpinfo() to find out the path, and this is the info I got:

PATH /sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin

_SERVER["PATH"] /sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin

_SERVER["PATH_TRANSLATED"] /home/httpd/vhosts/autostratus.com/httpdocs/info.php

_ENV["PATH"] /sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin


I'm sorry I know so little about shell scripts, but I can't figure from
this what the address in the first line should be. Is it like this:

#!/sbin/php
