Title: fetch instead of wget for cron job
Post by: jeffb0 on May 10, 2004, 12:51:45 pm

I'm using FreeBSD, not linux, and wondering if I can use the fetch command instead of wget (for dailymail.php)?

Another thing, I am constantly getting a "no match" message when running either fetch or wget from the command line.  Is that normal?

yep, this appears to work for fetch:

57 23 * * * /usr/bin/fetch -o /dev/null -T 0 http://www.site.com/ListMail/dailymail.php?pw=pass 1> /dev/null 2> /dev/null

Yes, any web page grabbing tool will work for this.  You can also use "curl".

curl -o /dev/null http://site.com/ListMail/dailymail.php?pw=YOURPASS 2> /dev/null

My host is advising me that I have to use "lynx" or "get" commands.

Could you please advice me how I set this up for dailymail and resume

Thank you
