Description
Using curl or wget to run civimail.cronjob.php works fine, but it's more efficient to do mailings using the php command line program. But in Drupal 7 there are issues with this. First it gives an error that says:
"Usage: Please define CIVICRM_CONFDIR in settings_location.php at the top level civicrm directory"
But this is fixed by setting CIVICRM_CONFDIR in civicrm.settings.php. But then when I run it again I get this error:
"<br />Sorry, could not able to load drupal bootstrap."
I found this error message getting printed in CRM/Utils/System/Drupal.php. It looks like Drupal isn't getting bootstrapped correctly, I think because bootstrapping is slightly different in Drupal 7 than it was in Drupal 6. Adding this drupal_override_server_variables() line fixes this (see attached civimail.diff for the patch):
// load drupal bootstrap
chdir($cmsPath);
define('DRUPAL_ROOT', $cmsPath);
require_once 'includes/bootstrap.inc';
drupal_override_server_variables(array('url' => CIVICRM_UF_BASEURL));
drupal_bootstrap(DRUPAL_BOOTSTRAP_FULL);
Now civimail.cronjob.php runs without errors from the php cli, and it sends out mailings. Except the emails are blank! An email sent using the cli looks like this:

It looks like the body just gets entirely skipped or something, but I haven't had time to figure out why. Maybe Drupal isn't actually getting bootstrapped correctly, but it's just not triggering the error? For now we will continue to use curl to send the mailings until we can figure this out.
