Oh, ok.

How about a regular shell script?

Code:

#!/bin/sh

wget http://www.mysite.com/index.php/cron/index

Save as mycronscript.sh (or whatever!? )

Chmod 755 ./mycronscript.sh

test the script (ie ./mycronscript.sh [ENTER] -> should print the results of the wget op on the command line)

and make a crontab entry to call ./mycronscript.sh as appropriate..

???

script works but cron doesnt (((

Oh, then I guess you need to sort out with your hosting provider why the cron on your box isn't working.

I get an message

wget: not found

but a shell script by itself works fine

[eluser]emperius[/eluser]
I tried to enter full path to wget and everything is working

thank you thunder
