 * First, let me say that the wp_cron did work for me.
 * But I’m not a newbie to cPanel cron jobs, and I have 4 running on the same domain/
   server on which I tried to activate the EAN cPanel cron job.
 * No luck, after several tries.
 * The diagnostic email I received indicated “500 Internal Server Error”.
 * The error log shows:
    `"Undefined index: argv in ean-schedule-newsletter.php,
   line 4"`
 * Then, as one would expect, line 13 failed: wp-config could not be opened.
 * Even after modifying php.ini to turn ON “register_argc_argv”, the same problem
   occured.
 * It seems that $_SERVER isn’t returning some indices. I’ve had other problems 
   in the past with my own cron-driven scripts when I tried to reference the $_SERVER
   global. And the manual at php.net warns us that this is often the case with CLI
   programs.
 * Any thoughts about a fix for this?
 * TIA,
    Jeff Cohan
