Can you set a cron script to visit a website.

ex. http://www.example.com/phpscriptexcution.php

Yes you can.

Alright thank you.

If I were to do this, Would I just put http://www.sitename.com/script.php in the command box?

You might have to add curl in the front. (or wget/lynx)

So, show me the syntax I would put in the Command Area...

Would this work?
php /path/to/script/script.php

If you're using cPanel, (not sure if this works on other control panels) but I use the follow, and it works perfectly for me.

curl -s "http://example.com/your_cron_script.php"

I use CPanel, and do I include the Quotes?

Yes, include the quotes.

Alright thank you. Lets see if it works.

Thanks Coffee, it works.
