CRON will not run
« on: July 14, 2004, 01:25:26 pm »
Hello,

Email today from our Unix host:

Hello

We do see that the cron job is setup as requested.

Please provide us any suggestions to help resolve this matter.

Thank you

The Daily mail works fine.

Any suggestions out there?

When you say the dailymail works fine I'm assuming you tried browsing to the URL and found that dailymail runs.

It sounds like you need to talk to your host about the permissions of the "wget" program to the user running the cron job.
