cron job...

[kj1983]

Help??

* 0 * * * * lynx http://www.domain.com;

or
* 0 * * * * wget http://www.domain.com;


Is this possible to setup my cron job to run a web pabe every day?

Yup.

You probably want to use links with the -dump option, and redirect it to /dev/null. Here's how I run a db index daily:

30 1 * * * /usr/bin/links -dump http://localhost/updb.php?update=yes 1> /dev/null 2> ~/cron.errors


So at 1:30am daily, it grabs that page, throws any standard output to /dev/null and any errors go to a file cron.errors in my home directory.

Not sure if lynx has a dump option, but wget may work for what you are doing.

You can also try something like :

0 * * * * curl -s -o /root/curl.txt http://domain.com

This will write every output from the site that you call to the file /root/curl.txt
