Dailymail won't run / wget Disabled
« on: June 01, 2004, 08:47:25 pm »
It looks like the wget command in my webhosting account has been disabled again due to security reasons.

I currently have this setup in my cron daemon:

/usr/bin/wget -O /dev/null -T 0 http://www.mydomain.com/mail/dailymail.php?pw=xxxxx 1> /dev/null 2> /dev/null

What are the commands other than wget that will make the job work?

Dean I remembered you emailing me with the alternative commands. Can you paste the complete command line here? I am a complete newbie when it comes to this.

Thank you in advance...

There are a few alternatives. Some example command-lines follow:

(example for 11:57pm)

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

57 23 * * * curl -o /dev/null http://example.com/mail/dailymail.php?pw=YOURPASS 2> /dev/null

57 23 * * * lynx > -O /dev/null -dump http://example.com/mail/dailymail.php?pw=YOURPASS 1> /dev/null 2> /dev/null

I will be updating this post with more as I come across them.
