Okay, here's the jist:
I'm trying to run a small PHP script that will dump the contents of four particular MySQL tables every day at 5:00am. My solution was the place the scripts in a directory named "crond". From there, I created a file called "job.file" and placed it into that same directory. Then I went to the shell and typed cd /home/httpd/htdocs/crond and hit enter. Once in that dir, I typed crontab job.file to create the cron job.
The actual "job.file" file had the following inside:
00 5 * lynx -source http://www.mydomain.com/crond/cron.php
I can now type in (at the shell prompt) crontab -l and it does indeed list that I have one crontab job up. Problem is, it's NOT WORKING! I have absolutely no idea what's wrong and I've been wrestling with this for two weeks now.
I've tried changing lynx -source to lynx -dump but that doesn't work either. Can anyone offer some guidance?
Thanks in advance!
