I am trying to setup a cronjob to download a file from the web and write it to my server to run every hour
this is the crontab entry I have created
10 * * * * wget -O /usr/home/httpd/mysite.com/page.shtml http://www.mysite.com/template.shtml >/dev/null
unfortunately cron entry isn't working
although when I execute the wget line from shell it works
does anyone know why the cronjob wouldn't work although wget is working from shell?
