Manually fetch works, but no auto jobs

Reported by Maarten | July 14th, 2010 @ 06:41 AM

Hi,

In DirectAdmin (my host-panel) I installed the cron more then once.

I am not sure if the cron runs right, or is written well.

How can I be sure my cron is 'spelled' the right way?

(/20 * {wget or similar command here})

Does any-one have a tip for me? I am not getting it auto.

Thanks, Maarten

You need to define a time period for the cron, and paste in the command.

WP-O-Matic gives you a URL to add to a Cron job. You need to write wget before it and place that URL in quotes.

Attached you can find an example :)

Hope others will find this useful.

Oh, and to make sure you don't get emails each time Cron runs, add >/dev/null 2>&1 at the end of your Cron command.
