The 'open_basedir' settings in the GUI affect primarily the settings of 
the PHP that this Vsite uses via the web-browser.

If you need to run PHP scripts from the CLI or via Cronjobs? Then those 
use very restrictive generic settings and have open_basedir locked down 
so much that you can't use it for Vsite scripts.

Like Juerg said: You can add command line options to the PHP CLI call 
like this:

/usr/bin/php -d open_basedir=none /path/to/script.php

But please note: Check which PHP version your Vsite uses. Because if you 
use a Shop PHP PKG, you may need to change the path:

For PHP-8.2 for example you'd use this instead:

/home/solarspeed/php-8.2/bin/php -d open_basedir=none /path/to/script.php
