Issue with Cron

Hello everyone, I'm trying to setup a crontab to ping a Cron module I'm using on my Drupal site hosted on a shared Bluehost account. I've set the cron module in Drupal to update certain things every 15 minutes and others just once per day. So my understanding is I need to set my cPanel cron to run every minute so it knows to run the 15 minute interval update when it arrives. So I've added the following command to my cPanel cron: wget sitename.com/staging/sites/all/modules/elysia_cron/cron.php > /dev/null And of course I get emails every minute from this. But here's what the email says:

Anyone know why this might be happening?

hmmm that doesn't seem to do anything. also, I forgot to mention (not sure this matters)...but this site is a sub-domain of mysite so it's technically hosted at staging.mysite.com but the directory structure is as I have it in my cron command: mysite/staging/etc.

Ok, so I got this when I replaced wget with curl: % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 0 100 9425 0 9425 0 0 11628 0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 12006 I assume that means it's running correctly?

Looks like that would have been may next suggestion "curl"

Yea, it's working now. Thanks for your help; your suggestion got me looking in the right place. Basically I replaced wget with curl and since this is a subdomain I put the url of the subdomain and the path to the elysia cron php file like so
