CroNiX Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Hard to say with no code posted, but you can try enabling quiet mode: */20 * * * * -q /usr/bin/wget http://list.domain.ca/admin/consume.php >/dev/null Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/129273-cron-jobs-saving-a-file-in-root-directory-for-some-stupid-reason/#findComment-670302 Share on other sites More sharing options...
