/bin/sh: line 1: GET: command not found

Moved some sites to a new server and now my crons get the following error:

/bin/sh: line 1: GET: command not found

What perl module is GET associated with that I should make sure it's properly installed? I thought it was LWP but installing that did no good.

The cronjob you are mentioning looks like a Bash script and not Perl. Could try and help you if you can paste the entire cron file here. I guess the error is not pertaining to line 1 of your script even.

You need to either

1. Install the perl-libwww-perl to get GET

or

2. install the LWP perl module manually and make sure you answer yes to:

Do you want to install the GET alias? [n]

Chirpy, that's a right handy piece of information.

You would not believe how many people I've asked on where to get 'GET', as it is no longer installed by default, not since Linux 9 anyway. Even some very knowledgeable people had no idea. I thought I was going crazy.

Turns out I just got better at using 'wget' and the necessary switches. :D

Glad to help I've not used GET myself just had to get it installed a few times - have always used wget myself.
