I have created a cron job in a server www.domain.com with CENTOS:

*/10 * * * * http://www.anotherdomain.com/cron/task.php

but its returning:

/bin/sh: http://www.anotherdomain.com/cron/task.php: No such file or directory

How to make it works?

 */10 * * * *  wget -q -t 5 --delete-after http://www.anotherdomain.com/cron/task.php

q = quiet

t = retries incase of network issues (5 in this case)

delete-after = we don't actully want the output of the remote page
