Cron Job Creating Files

[hadleyfraser]

Hi

I have setup a few corn jobs which are running as expected.
I have added >/dev/null 2>&1 to the end of the command to stop the email being sent but every time the cron job runs it is generating a text file in the root of my server.

Here is a full example of the command that is running:

Code: Select all

wget http://mydomain.com/ajax.php?action=sync_items >/dev/null 2>&1

Which generates this file:

Code: Select all

ajax.php?action=sync_items

Any ideas on how to stop that file from being created?

Thanks

That's what wget does. It's its job. If you want wget to save the content of that page somewhere else then you have to tell it to do so.
