Hello everyone,

I'm trying to set a cron job with parameters.
DA gives you some examples that you can follow. I chose this one:
/usr/bin/wget -O /dev/null http://www.domain.com/cron.php

In order to send parameters, I simply tried this:
/usr/bin/wget -O /dev/null http://www.domain.com/cron.php?par1=par1&par2=par2

My script stops at the first parameter though, the other are completely ignored.
Looking on the internet, I found out that the right way to send parameters is the following:
/usr/bin/wget -O /dev/null http://www.domain.com/cron.php par1=par1 par2=par2

Through shell, this is the result:
--2018-12-30 17:14:20-- http://par1=par1/
Resolving par1=par1 (par1=par1)... failed: Name or service not known.
wget: unable to resolve host address ‘par1=par1’
--2018-12-30 17:14:20-- http://par2=par2/
Resolving par2=par2 (par2=par2)... failed: Name or service not known.
wget: unable to resolve host address ‘par2=par2’

What am I missing? 🤔 I feel like this is a very noob question!

Thank you in advance!
Andrea
 
Hello Andrea,

Try to use quote-marks:


Code:
/usr/bin/wget -O /dev/null "http://www.domain.com/cron.php?par1=par1&par2=par2"
