CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I thought I'd share the benefits of a morning's configuration of CiviMail with you all. I've just been setting up the civimail.cronjob.php on my host (Host Monster) and was having a few problems sending mails out using the cronjob until I did a google.

If you wish to execute the cronjob with a username and password as below:

wget http://yourdrupalroothere/sites/all/modules/civicrm/bin/civimail.cronjob.php?name=usernamehere&pass=passwordhere

You may need to enclose the URL in quotes like below:

wget 'http://yourdrupalroothere/sites/all/modules/civicrm/bin/civimail.cronjob.php?name=usernamehere&pass=passwordhere'

Apparently the fussy wget command doesn't like '&' and will need it contained within quotation marks. Not too sure about the 'curl' command, but wget is working and that is enough for me.
