If you are using the Hostgator(or any other Linux server) then try this one.

/opt/cpanel/ea-php72/root/usr/bin/php /YOUR_HOME_DIRECTORY/YOUR_USERNAME/public_html/marketing/index.php welcome emailcampaign 1

for example for me its

/opt/cpanel/ea-php72/root/usr/bin/php /home3/adnan/public_html/index.php welcome emailcampaign 101

where

welcome is the controller name
emailcampaign is the function name of welcome controller
101 = First argument of url.
