crontab

[a1ka1ine]

heyyy.. i use crontab and wget to read my .php file and dump it to a htm file to reduce system load, but occasionally i get just a white screen when i go to my site and it doesnt go back to my page until the next crontab update...

anyone got a better way, of making sure crontab doesnt fuck my site up?

cheers for any help all you unixxy webmasters...

Without knowing exactly what you are doing, my only suggestion would be to write a script that would check to see if the site had been updated and have cron execute it right after the update script executes. I had to do something similar on one of my sites.

I know exactly what your doing, did many cache systems the same way. What you need is to make better error handling, create a script to check the file to make sure the output is completele right after the execution of the update, if its not, make it run the update script again
