Problems with My Cronjob and/or it is Not Working

In case you have problems with your cron job please follow these steps for troubleshooting:

1. Make sure the syntax of your command is correct. For this purpose read carefully the manual for the command you are using;
2. When setting up the cron job make sure you provide a valid email for receiving the output of your commands. This will help in the debugging.

lynx -source http://example.com/cron.php
