Question:
I have the following crontab:
* * * * * /usr/bin/wget http://mydomain.com/ow_cron/run.php > /dev/null
It works but it leaves files called run.0, run.1, run.2, etc. in my home directory. I added :
> /dev/null 2>&1
to the crontab but it still does it. How can I make it stop?
Answer
Add the option:
–delete-after
and the annoying sequentially numbered files should stop.
An example:
* * * * * /usr/bin/wget --delete-after http://mydomain.com/ow_cron/run.php > /dev/null
