I created 4 methods and I want to run them by accessing the link. I have already tested the methods and all are working normally, but I have tried several settings by crontab -e.

I’ve tried to:

0 * * * * wget http://meusite/rota

0 * * * * curl http://meusite/rota

I’ve used tbm -the minuscule and capitalize, and I’ve tried also using the path of my project, example:

0 * * * * curl /var/www/projeto/rota

0 * * * * wget /var/www/projeto/rota

Note: I am doing the configuration by root. Another thing, there is a command to check if it is working, and how do I set to receive an email every time you run.

My command executes a method where it loads user data, in that method does not pass any parameter as it fetches all users

I used the debug command to see what is happening:

DEBUG output created by Wget 1.12 on linux-gnu.

  • Before anything you need to check this 500 error returned by server.

  • If the answer below has helped you, please click on the check mark next to the reply to mark it as accepted.

  • Is the error shown error 500? Error 500 is server-side, not client-side. Even putting the path of the executable (which is recommended) in cron, this would not change the error

Just one note, you should run the Url with no output or progress, channeling to / dev / null like this: Example running every 5 minutes.

 */5 * * * * curl -s http://meusite/rota > /dev/null

 */5 * * * * wget http://meusite/rota

Note: The alias must exist to execute the command without the full path. Ex: /usr/bin/Curl

Victor, do with the following command:

0 * * * * /usr/bin/curl http://meusite/rota

You said in your question that you used Curl, but I saw that you put only the command, so I think it would be the case to include Curl’s Path.

    It would be interesting for you to briefly explain what the command does, so your answer becomes more complete.

  • My command executes a method where it loads user data, in this method I do not pass any parameter, because it searches all users.

  • @Victorrajesh did not understand your comment about passing parameters or not, I just put in my reply the command with the Curl Path that you said you had used but unsuccessfully.

  • I wanted to explain that it is only a simple method, which if called by the URL works as I want. You would have to release some permission before running crontab?
