Hey man i am trying to set up a game i am using a cronjob i have set to to every ten minutes ( in the terms and conditions ) but it wont work do you have any advise

this is the code it is for a game called aatraders

*/10 * * * * /usr/bin/wget --tries=1 --timeout=10 --post-data 'admin_password=My pass &game_number=0' -q -o /dev/null -O /dev/null http://rdb46home.x10.bz/aat/scheduler.php

the game is meant to tick along for 600 seconds and then update the rating and stuff. But it ticks over and does nothing , i can run the scheduler manually and it work till i try's to engage the cron job again and then it just stops. And it will not let me put the * --->( */10 * * * *) at the start of it i dont know f it is a syntax error or what any help would be kind thenks

Assuming it is a PHP script, try using a command line like:

/usr/bin/php  /home/abc/public_html/mycronjob.php  >>/home/abc/public_html/logthecron.txt  2>&1

where abc is your cPanel username. This should run any .php script and also send all output, including errors to the log file, so you can see if something is really messed up.

Can you tell what happens if you call the script from the Web? (if it is accessible from the web)
