Hi -

I know this isn't a specifically civimail question, but hope that someone can help me nonetheless.

My civimail.cronjob.php is leaving a file behind every time the cron job runs.  It is also emailing me.  I don't see why I need the file, since I get the email.  It would be better not to have to clean these files up all the time.  The cron job is:

wget -o /dev/null 'http://www.mydomain.com/sites/all/modules/civicrm/bin/civimail.cronjob.php?name=xxx&pass=xxx&key=xxx'

Can someone point me in the right direction to modify this so that it will not leave the file behind?

Thanks.

Hi Kurund - thanks for the suggestion, but unfortunately that didn't work.   

My cron job is now:
wget 'http://www.mydomain.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/bin/civimail.cronjob.php?name=xxxx&pass=xxxx&key=xxx'

and it is still dropping a file each time it runs.  Any other thoughts?

Hi Kurund -

The name of the file created is civimail.cronjob.php?name=xxx&pass=xxx&key=xxx.  It is a 0K file, absolutely empty.  It is created in my root directory.  (Not my public_html directory where the drupal install is, but the directory above that).

I assume it is the wget command that is leaving the file, not the civimail.cronjob.php file?   But I have tried a variety of options with no luck so far.

Most recently I tried the quiet command

wget -q 'http://www.mydomain.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/bin/civimail.cronjob.php?name=xxx&pass=xxx&key=xxx' with no change in behavior.
