Code Snippets
When setting up CRON jobs, different servers require different commands depending on what is installed on the server and also the permissions. Very often you will have to try different commands before hitting on one that actually works. These are some you can try. Make sure to replace the URL to the parser with your own.
WGET method
wget -O /dev/null http://yourdomain.com/kayako/url-to-parser.php
GET Method
/usr/bin/GET http://yourdomain.com/kayako/url-to-parser.php
PHP Method. This version does not use a regular URL. You need to know the path to the parser as in the example below. You can also review video #6 to check
