Running Cron scheduled jobs - Wordpress
I had verified by running php -v (after shelling in) that (cli) was supposedly enabled but I could not submit a cron job using wp-cli.  I tried using curl, but got "Protocol http or https not supported or disabled in libcurl".  I didn't fare well with easyCron - I felt uneasy supplying my pswd there; but after seeing jobs tagged with 200 ('succeeded') in logs, my installation didn't reflect that.  One important bit of information - this site isn't live yet, so I am pointing to it via my Hosts file. But I have to verify that stuff works BEFORE go-live.
So, from where I stand, using the URL method seemed to be the one workable method.
(also, I could run it locally and debug it!)
