如何防止CronJob创建日志文件？

Question

I have a Cronjob. My command is that: wget mysite.com/bot.php But this command will automatically creates log files that names are like:

• bot.php
• bot.php.1
• bot.php.2
• bot.php.3
• etc...

How can I prevent this?

Thanks!

I assume you're trying to run your script without storing any information locally.

Try adding &> /dev/null to the end of your cron command, this will dump the output to /dev/null which is basically a black hole ( anything that ends up here is irretrievable ).

An example cron command would be:

*/5 * * * * wget -qO- http://example.com/check &> /dev/null
