Hi all:
I set up a Cron Job on my host which runs /cron.php every hour. I now get these e-mails:

My host says:
Try setting your paths to be absolute. So for
includes/session.inc
for example make it
/hsphere/local/home/jewishce/jewishcenter.org/includes/session.inc
It seems odd that I would have to change the core code. I'm sure there's another solution.
(See also this other post where I had to change user.module for e-mail to work: http://drupal.org/node/34362)
Thanks in advance for any guidance.

From the handbook
From the handbook:
http://drupal.org/node/23714
You need to call cron.php using wget, lynx or any other browser.

Thanks
Thanks Gerd.
Can I change the command itself?
The Cron Job configured on my host executes this command:
/usr/local/bin/php /hsphere/local/home/jewishce/jewishcenter.org/cron.php
Can I change that so it runs wget or lynx? I didn't fully understand the related handbook instructions.

It should be something like
It should be something like this:
fetch http://jewishcenter.org/cron.php

Responded with this error
Responded with this error via e-mail:
fetch: www.jewishcenter.org/cron.php: size of remote file is not known
0 bytes transferred in 0.0 seconds (0.00 Bps)
Should I use a wget command or...?
Thanks again for all help. It's much appreciated.
Try lynx
Try something like this:
/usr/local/bin/lynx -source http://www.jewishcenter.org/cron.php > /dev/null 2>&1
You may need to change the path to lynx, depending on your host.
This is what i use:
This is what i use:
fetch -o /dev/null -q http://domain.tld/cron.php

lkonsult.no
If all that doesn't work...
...because your provider disabled wget, lynx, curl and related (like mine did), try http://www.webcron.org/
Before that I used wget -q http://example.org/cron.php

Crom Module
I had some problems with this and took the easy route out and used the poormanscron module. This makes life very simple but is probably not the long term solution.
