The thought of HTTP retrievers dumping the output in a file did not even cross my mind. Thanks for mentioning it. I guess I better check my home directory if it is bloated with the byproduct of my cron jobs! :) Thanks for your suggestions.

If I may add a couple of points: On my host (and presumably others) using wget stores the file in my home dir. For scripts that run once a day this can quickly lead to loads of files that need to be cleared out. Routing the output of cron to /dev/null (e.g. wget http://www.domain.com/myscript.php > /dev/null & 2 ) prevents this. Also depending on your setup you can call php as a script (just like any other shell script) by adding the shebang #!/path/to/php to the top of the file and chmoding it to be executable. You can then execute it directly. Rob Nice round up of options.
