convert wget cron command to curl
10,456
The commands wget
and curl
can be used (fairly) similarly if you just want to download something from a URL. Note that the following is available in the man
documentation for each command.
Syntax
wget [options] [URL]
curl [options] [URL]
Options
To specify a download location, wget
uses -O
while curl
uses -o
.
To silence output, wget
uses --quiet
while curl
uses --silent
.
To delete every file that is downloaded upon completion, wget
uses --delete-after
. I don't believe curl
has a related option (or it may do this automatically).
So a direct translation of your first command would be:
wget https://www.yoursite.com/index.php?route=cronjob/cronjob -O /dev/null
curl https://www.yoursite.com/index.php?route=cronjob/cronjob -o /dev/null
Make sense?
There are lots of examples online and extensive documentation on the man
page for each command.

I would like to change the following wget cron commands to curl format:
wget https://www.yoursite.com/index.php?route=cronjob/cronjob -O /dev/null wget --quiet --delete-after "http://www.yoursite.com/index.php?route=cron/abandoned_cart_reminder&secret_code=yourcode"
Thank you!
