I'm really confused about this particular problem i'm having, this particular syntax:
0,30 * * * * /usr/bin/lynx -dump
http://localhost/cwars/hourly.php?server_passwd=mypassword
used to work not so long ago, either my host has changed something recently to my account or else i've done something.
basically there are two php files i want cron to hit up, once an hour and the other once a day.
I've tried all of the following variations:
/usr/bin/lynx -dump
http://localhost/cwars/hourly.php?server_passwd=mypassword
/usr/local/bin/lynx --dump
http://www.12colonies.net/cwars/hourly.php
root /usr/local/bin/lynx - -dump /home/
myusername/public_html/cwars/hourly.php?server_passwd=
mypassword
/usr/bin/curl /home/
myusername/www/cwars/hourly.php?server_passwd=
mypassword
/usr/bin/php -q /home/
myusername/www/cwars/hourly.php?server_passwd=
mypassword
/usr/bin/php -q /home/
myusername/www/cwars/hourly.php?server_passwd=
mypassword
/usr/bin/lynx -dump /home/
myusername/public_html/cwars/hourly.php?server_passwd=
mypassword
/home/
myusername/www/cwars/hourly.php
wget -qO -
http://localhost/cwars/hourly.php?server_passwd=mypassword
everyone of these have been set to: */10 or 5,35. I do not get an email from any of them and by default my email address is on the crontab to forward me the data.
manually typing in the address to the php files does work to update the game, so i'm completely at a loss what to do next. I have contacted my host about lynx and to see if the interpreter directory has been moved, in the meantime if anyone has any other suggestions? I'm new to this, as you can imagine.
