Cron & Dailymail

Hi

I have a problem with running cron. I have read lots of posts regarding the issue in here and have tried every option I could find.

I spoke to my host and they said the ony methods available were "lynx" or "get" commands. I asked about curl and the other ideas mentioned and I got a  "you have to use lynx or get". I found a referance to a lynx command in a thread and tried that but it did not work.

Dailymail works when triggered manually so the issue is clearly with the cron task.

Any ideas?

This may be helpful

CentOS release 4.7 (Final)
---------- 1 root nobody 206096 Nov 2 2005 /usr/bin/wget
-rwx---r-x 1 root nobody 165939 Nov 9 2007 /usr/bin/curl

---------- 1 root root 1170936 Oct 28 09:44 /usr/bin/lynx

Yes, that was exactly the information we needed.  "lynx" and "wget" appear to have "no" permissions, meaning they cannot be used.  In your dailymail task and .cgi scripts, change "/usr/bin/wget -O /dev/null" to "curl -o /dev/null".
