wget command for cron currency update

[nicoX]

This doesn't work, I have my admin directory password protected:

/usr/bin/wget -q -O --user myuser --password 'mypassword' http://example.net/admin/cron_currency_rates.php?secure_key=12345 >> /dev/null 2>&1

What's the correct way to update the currency with cron? There is no documentation or any threads explaining this.

That thread is from 2010 and applies for version 1.3. I have cron built in into my cPanel. Can't believe there is no other threads or documentation for this.

Anyway I managed to solve it by removing the -O flag. Just now it creates an output file which I don't want.

This works:

/usr/bin/wget -q -O /dev/null --user user --password 'password' http://example.org/admin/cron_currency_rates.php?secure_key=12345
