All,
I've set up a crontab on my server with the following:
MAILTO:matthew at truthisfreedom.org.uk
0 0 * * * * lynx -dump http://www.truthisfreedom.org.uk/scriptname
where scriptname is the name of the script I want to run (it's php and
they don't have the binaries, so this is the only way to do it.
I want it to run at midnight everyday, and up until now, it hasn't been
running at all, however, last night (without making any changes!) it
kicked in at midnight and has been sending me a confirmation email and
the results of the script in an email every minute (1030 and counting
before I switched it off!).
Can someone just quickly tell me what it should be changed to?
TIA,
Matt
