Hello all, I'm in need of some help with cron jobs, and was hoping to get some answers here. I'm running the Gamers Fusion RPG version 2.5. I need it to run a reset script every hour. The problem is, the command that was given in the install file doesn't work. This is what I have:

lynx -dump http://isaac.hostsmf.com/rpg/reset.php?step=reset > /dev/null

What can I do to get this to work?

I had a similar problem before.. sorry, I can't help you. But just so you know, you're not alone. I couldn't get cron jobs to work and I was doing something similar to that (without the /dev/null at the end).

Um,
try:

wget --delete-after http://isaac.hostsmf.com/rpg/reset.php?step=reset > /dev/null

Should work fine.

No wait..

wget --delete-after http://isaac.hostsmf.com/rpg/reset.php?step=reset

You'd get an error with the /dev/null at the end, since it downloads it to blackhole, then wget tries to delete it. My bad.. This should work fine.

Doesn't seem to be working.

Why?
Do you have access to wget?
