Cron job - what am I doing wrong?

[kapingamarangi]

I try to make a cronjob. Every two hours a file has to be called.

The file is http://www.kapingamarangi.be/PATH/ac...n&name=PostMan

So I submitted the folowing cronjob:

0 */2 * * * GET http://www.kapingamarangi.be/PATH/ac...n&name=PostMan

And PATH is the correct path. But it doesn't seem to work

What am I doing wrong?

First of all make sure you include the path to GET in the statement (just to be sure the cron-user-id you run this under can find GET. (remember that cron is a daemon, and thus running as such under your userid, the path may be different as your shell).

Second of all, make sure you send the output to a logfile (you don't want an email to your userid everytime some output comes from that..

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,
