Cron Problems 404 errors

Hi all and Happy New Year,

I have a small problem with a system that i'm trying to automate through cron. I have a number of scripts which must be automated to run a certain times. I have used a crontab to do this and most of them are working but there are a number which are not. These are in the exact same format (in fact they are the same file in a different folder.) and I am using the same command. The crontab file looks like this

Code: Select all

 
MAILTO=myemail@address.com
13,28,43,58 * * * * wget http://mysite.com/station_data/ballinas ... arser1.php
13,28,43,58 * * * * wget http://mysite.com/station_data/roches_p ... arser1.php (*)
14,29,44,59 * * * * wget http://mysite.com/station_data/watergra ... arser1.php (*)
14,29,44,59 * * * * wget http://mysite.com/station_data/kildimo/ ... arser1.php 
14,29,44,59 * * * * wget http://mysite.com/station_data/dungarva ... arser1.php 
*/15 * * * * php /home/username/www/image_compare3.php http://www.met.ie/weathermaps/latest_radar.gif result.gif
02,16,31,46 * * * * php /home/username/www/front_finder.php result.gif
0 * * * * rm /home/username/weather_data_parser1.*
03,17,32,47 * * * * lynx -dump http://mysite.com/sms_msg.php (*)
0 * * * * rm /home/username/sms_msg.*
 
The commands marked with (*) are the ones that are returning 404 errors (the (*) is not in the file). Changing the command from wget to lynx or php or visa versa makes no difference and the commands work in an ssh session or if i access the files through a browser. Any ideas? I'm completely baffled. Sorry if this isn't very clear but i'm not sure how to explain it any better. Thanks in advance.
