Hi

I am running a cron backup process every evening and they work fine but each run produces 1 or 2 files in the root directory with a name which is the command from the cron job (without the domain name) e.g. the CRON job is:

"wget --max-redirect=10000 "http://www.sri-connect.com/index2.php?option=com_akeeba&view=backup&key=XXXXXXXXX&format=raw&profile=3"

and after this runs there is a small file (6 bytes) created called:

"index.php?option=com_akeeba&view=backup&task=step&key=XXXXXXXXX&profile=3&format=raw"

The contents of this file is just the HTTP status code: "200 OK"

Is this Akeeba Backup creating this file or is it something to do with CRON. I don't have similar files for other CRON jobs I run.

Thanks

Brian

This how wget and CRON works. In order to avoid that from happening modify your command line to read:
wget --max-redirect=10000 "http://www.sri-connect.com/index2.php?option=com_akeeba&view=backup&key=XXXXXXXXX&format=raw&profile=3" -O /dev/null > /dev/null 2>&1
