    Hi all
    I wanna try to run a auto e-mail member for birthday,
    I have a mode manuelly installed and it is running seamlessly
    When I put below URL to the browser and hit to ENTER it runs and send e-mail to the members (controlled)

    www.mysite.com/forum/index.php?action=birthday

    this URL running;

    What I want to do is that;
    I wanna run a CronJob daily at 08:00 which launchs this URL

    There is no problem with scheduling
    But I tear my hair what is the correct command?

    wget -q http://www.mysite.com/index.php?action=birthday
    php http://www.mysite.com/index.php?action=birthday
    lynx     http://www.mysite.com/index.php?action=birthday

    Any idea?
    Regards

    I guess it will be like that:

    PHP:
    0 8 * * * php -q /home/USERNAME/public_html/forum/index.php?action=birthday
    The only thing that worries me about if it will work or not is "action=birthday" but let's keep out fingers crossed :rolleyes:

    here is my Cron command

    /http://img268.imageshack.us/img268/9774/cron.jpg

    "No input file specified." error returned via mail :mad:

    By the way;
    My URL "http://www.mysite.com/forum/index.php?action=dogumgunu" works and sends email to the members (who have birthday)
    It works seamlessly...It runs a script

    Could you try it without "action=*" ? could be the problem I'm really not sure.
