body: <p>How to setup a cron job command to execute an URL?</p>
  
  <pre><code>/usr/bin/wget -q http://www.domain.com/cron_jobs/job1.php &gt;/dev/null 2&gt;&amp;1
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>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</p>
  
  <p>The command returns this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Output from command /usr/bin/wget -q http://www.domain.com/cron_jobs/job1.php ..
  
  No output generated
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>... but it still creates an empty file in <code>/root</code> on each execute!? Why?</p>
