Cron Job
Hey, could you help me?

I'm just trying to set up cron job at one of my server and it looks like it installed successfully, but it do not work

Cron Job file:

Code:
# Scheduler
* * * * * http://****.com/cron/auctions/findpending/

Maybe I did something wrong? How can I find log files for the Cron?

This needs to be a command executable from the BSD command line? What happens if you type this in the command line? You need to use a local script, /home/user/scripts/findpending.pl, or launch that page in a web browser, /usr/local/bin/lynx http://domain.com/cron/auctions/findpending/.

So, if I'll launch this page via cron job and via web browser, is this cron job quit (close) from web browser after execution will complete.
I'v ask because this script will run each 1 minute and it can take some CPU and memory resources? What you think about it? Is recurrence like this will critical?

I think you need to write the script to run locally instead of on the remote server, or, set the cron job up on the remote server.

I'v run it locally, at the same server.
I just need to send request to this URL each minute and wait while it respond with 200 status.

So, is it best way to solve my problem?

Code:
# Scheduler
* * * * * /usr/local/bin/lynx http://domain.com/cron/auctions/findpending/
