Cron job error - Lynx file "/etc/lynx.lss" is not available.
Hi,
The following cron job in cPanel no longer works and I receive error below?


lynx --dump http://www.mywebsite.com/components/com_catalogue/cron/adminapprove.php > /dev/null

Lynx file "/etc/lynx.lss" is not available.

Any ideas on how to fix?

Also, can I run the script using curl or wget instead, if so what command should I use?

I have now setup the cron job to use curl instead, see below.

/usr/bin/curl http://www.mywebsite.com/components/com_catalogue/cron/enquiryprocess.php | sed "s/^/$(date)/" >> /home/mywebsit/public_html/components/com_catalogue/cron/cron_log.txt

cron_log.txt contents --> Fri Jul  5 23:12:02 EST 2013There are no new e-mailsFri Jul  5 23:16:01 EST 2013There are no new e-mails

How can I alter this to add "Enquiry Process" after the date and also create a newline with each append?

Thanks  Mazdajai, that works well but how can I get a new line before the date and also add "Enquiry Process" after the date?
