Title: Follow Up and Dailymail - Crontab configuration
Post by: scott7 on February 15, 2009, 11:42:19 pm
Hi,

Having problems getting the follow up feature working. I understand that the solution lies in the correct configuration of Dailymail and the crontab file. The documentation says to create this:

0 0 * * * /usr/bin/wget -O /dev/null -T 0 http://example.com/mail/dailymail.php?pw=YourDailyMailPass 1> /dev/null 2> /dev/null

However, the host of the server suggests this format:

*/5 * * * *  /usr/bin/curl -s http://www.mysite.co.uk/somescript.php

So I have created

0 0 * * * /usr/bin/curl -s http://example.com/mail/dailymail.php?pw=YourDailyMailPass 1>

Is this right, or should I be using the dev/null stuff as well to get it working?

Happy to hear anybody's input. Thanks
