How to setup a cron job command to execute an URL?

/usr/bin/wget -q http://www.domain.com/cron_jobs/job1.php >/dev/null 2>&1

Why can’t I make this work!? Have tried everything.. The PHP script should send an email and create some files, but none is done

The command returns this:

Output from command /usr/bin/wget -q http://www.domain.com/cron_jobs/job1.php ..

No output generated

… but it still creates an empty file in /root on each execute!? Why?

    Use curl like this:

    /usr/bin/curl http://domain.com/page.php
    

    Don’t worry about the output, it will be ignored
