[RESOLVED] cronjob problem

[lajkonik86]

I always thought setting up a cronjob would be a piece of cake.
To my dissapointment i'm having some problems.

All i want my cronjob to do is run a php file every 10 minutes and email the output to me. (I'm using cpanel)

my attempts:

wget -dump http://www.adress.com/index.php?a=on&b=on&c=on&d=on&e=on&f=on&auto=on 1>/dev/null



lynx -dump http://www.adress.com/index.php?t=on&a=on&b=on&c=on&d=on&e=on&f=on&auto=on 1>/dev/null

I'm not sure this is a PHP problem...

1) wget has no dump option. Use the -o file-name option instead.
2) to use a fullname option use two dashes: lynx --dump
3) try escaping your '&'s with a backslash: lynx --dump http://www.adress.com/index.php?t=on\&a=on

And are sure you want to re-direct the output to /dev/null ?

thanks for the advice 🙂

yes i don't need the output, it just updates the database and writes errors to the database if anything goes wrong
