I was looking for a method to call a CGI script on another server every day
at a certain time. Would one of these accomplish that? Is curl something
that's installed by default on a RAQ2?

I tried the crontab:

20 14 * * * * curl http://www.domain.com/cgi-bin/script.cgi

Then I received an email from the server:

From: Cron Daemon
Sent: Monday, June 12, 2000 2:20 PM
Subject: Cron <admin@admin> * curl http://www.domain.com/cgi-bin/script.cgi

/bin/sh: script.cgi: command not found

Then I tried lynx -dump instead and got:

From: Cron Daemon

Subject: Cron <admin@admin> * lynx -dump
http://www.domain.com/cgi-bin/script.cgi


 /bin/sh: script.cgi: command not found

Any ideas?
TIA
