Trouble running a Cron job

[SimMayor]

I have following instructions to run a cron job:

*/5 * * * * TERM=xterm;export TERM;lynx -dump -useragent=MailBag "http://www.mysite.com/index.php?module=MailBag&type=admin&func=run&exepw=mypw" > /dev/null

Of course that didn't work. Then I tried following, but still without any result:

GET http://www.mysite.com/index.php?module=MailBag&type=admin&func=run&exepw=mypw > /dev/null

From the various threads I got the idea that using the GET is enough, and it works fine with a script that does not take parameters.

Maybe there is some trouble in passing the parameters?

Try this with GET command

GET "http://www.mysite.com/index.php?module=MailBag&type=admin&func=run&exepw=mypw" > /dev/null

Without quotes shell may not be able to interpret it as one single argument.

Thank you!
It works now. The trouble was that in CP I could not enter double quotes, it just ignored those.
But using single quotes worked as well. Now I got our mailing list messages automatically extracted on the web page.
