Hi,

I have pretty much set up everything now but my cron job isn't working. The follow up sequence is not being sent, and I am not getting the email confirmation through

I use CPANEL
Here is my configured script.

/usr/bin/wget -O /dev/null -T 0 http://apfs.oceanfeather.com.au/mail/dailymail.php?pw=day_pass 1> /dev/null 2> /dev/null

Please help
Thanks

Damian

Your cron task appears correct. What is the timing you have set up?

Once per day at 1:15am looks like this:

15 1 * * *

It's possible that your host has disabled the program /usr/bin/wget, used by the task.

It's also possible that your dailymail password does not match. Try copying and pasting the password from your task to the ListMail Config page. Don't forget to save.

Enable the dailymail report and set up your Admin Email. If things are working you should receive the report and your followups should be sent/processed.

Regards

My timing is 0 0 * * *
Thats daily at midnight right?

What happens if wget is disabled?
How can I tell?

Everything else seems fine.

It is difficult to tell if wget is disabled. You should probably talk to your host about it. Show them the cron task, let them know it's not working, and see if they have any clues.
