Hello,
I run my PHP crons like this:
0 6 * * * /usr/local/bin/lynx -source "http://www.domain.com/file.php"
This is not the most secure of course, as the file is below the root
and could be hit by any user. But works for my particular case ...
Anyone know of a method to make this more secure ... password
protecting the directory it's in? chnaging the permissions of the
file???
