My webhost does not support lynx or curl scripts (I think).
Is there a free webservice where I can enter my url that fetches it once a day?

Thanks

Have you tried Poormanscron (http://drupal.org/project/poormanscron)? I used to use it when I was hosting on a windows platform and it worked like a charm. This modules executes cron jobs when users visit your site.

Thanks for the tip. I will defenitely check it out.
If it does not have mysql queries to be executed I can use it. I am trying to get the number of queries down.

I am still trying to get one of the cron scripts going.
I thought something like this:
http://www.webbasedcron.com
would be easier, but I am not going to pay for it ;-)

Did you solve this problem? I found that you don't need lynx or curl scripts to get cron going.

Let me know if this comment helps you:

Thanks, I found that too. Sorry for not replying earlier, still catching up after my vacation.
