Laravel的Cron工作

Question

I am developing a Cron application using Laravel 4.2.11. I used below command as Cron command.

wget http://apiproducts.com/foysal/public/get_products

Where get_products is a route defined in routes.php .

But this command generates .txt file in server,like get_products.txt, get_products.1.txt, get_products.2.txt etc.

How can I get rid of this issue??

Answer 1

wget is a tool to retrieve something from the net (download), not just to send requests:

GNU Wget is a free software package for retrieving files using HTTP, HTTPS and FTP, the most widely-used Internet protocols.

So, when calling this command, without any options, you will get the file with the response.

If you are only after the ability to send a request, and you don't intend to fetch the page, you should probably rather look at cURL , which allows you to send requests via the terminal, and would work fine in a cron-job.

Your command would be changed to look like:

curl http://apiproducts.com/foysal/public/get_products
