Ok, I have found the cron jobs section of my cPanel on my site, so I've set up a cron and used this in the command: lynx --dump http://whatever.com/dir/ectory/file.php


Unforunatly all I get is an email saying lynx: not found


Any ideas?

right, I used http://www.webbasedcron.com/ to do it for me and it works fine.

so i know there's nothing wrong with the script, just the cron set up.....




Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Instead of using lynx (which is apparently not on your system) create a PHP script which uses curl or fopen to get the information from a server, read it into a string and write it out to file, or if you can just write it directly out to disk from the script. Call the script from your cron like "php script_name.php" and that should do what you want.
