My cron job is not working

I am using cpanel, here I have set up cron

wget -O /dev/null http://www.mysite.com/cron.php?para1=value&para2=value2

This is not a job, but only once did I receive an email.

Resolving mysite.com... *ip address*  
Connecting to mysite.com|*ip address*|:80... connected.  
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 200 OK  
Length: 164 [text/html]  
Saving to: `/dev/null'  

0K    100% 7.11M=0s

please tell me about it.

If you are using the latest version of cPanel, you will execute your cronjobs through jailshell (unless your cPanel account supports Normal bash). Because of this, you need to:

  • Use absolute paths to your commands.
  • Use curl as wget is not included in jailshell.

Below is a modified command using absolute paths and using curl instead of wget:



/usr/bin/curl http://www.mysite.com/cron.php?para1=value&para2=value2 >/dev/null 2>&1

You can remove "> / dev / null 2> & 1" to enable the output of the command and the source of any url that is being checked to be sent to you by email.
