I am having trouble to schedule the cron.php job. This is the line in crontab -
05 * * * * /usr/bin/wget -O - -q http://drupall.crl.edu/drupal/html/cron.php

When the command is issued from a promp ( /usr/bin/wget -O - -q http://drupall.crl.edu/drupal/html/cron.php ), it works just fine. But it did not happen at the scheduled time. Why? Please help. Thanks!

P.S.> the host name has not been published in public DNS yet.

I couldn't get cron to run either so have been using the poormanscron module, which is especially nice if you have a site with a lot of updates. Might be worth a shot.
