How would I use a cron job to send an HTML GET request?

Question

I would like to set up a cron job which sends an http request to a url. How would I do this? I have never set up a cronjob before.

Answer 1

if you use linux

crontab -e

and add curl command

10 15 * * * /usr/bin/curl --silent http://test.com?some=crontab &>/dev/null

every day 10:15 you will send html GET request to http://test.com with param "some" and value "crontab"
