I am receiving this cron error email message
« on: September 28, 2008, 06:09:25 pm »
Hello,

I am receiving this cron error email message:

/bin/sh: -c: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token `('
/bin/sh: -c: line 0: `/usr/bin/wget -O /dev/null -T 0
http://example.com/L9/dailymail.php?pw=6c*(A$6}:H;$ 1> /dev/null 2> /dev/null'


I suspect that my dailymail password is too much for the server/script?

What do I do?

Thanks,

~Lisa:-)

Hi Lisa,

Yes, it appears the special characters in your password may be affecting the command.  The reason is the cron is executed from a very complex scripting environment (linux shell).  You can try "escaping" the characters, by preceding them with a "\" or you could try something alpha-numeric.

Hi,
Thanks:-)
I figured that out, but it still doesn't work.
No errors, but nothing's sending.

Do you know if when dailymail runs a queue is set up and sends to the mail server?  Do you receive a "Dailymail Report" email at your Administrator Email address?
