cron.php.* files

[keylope]

General question: I've set up a crob job to run at midnight and it seems to be running just fine. One thing I've noticed is that now in my root directory, I see a bunch of cron.php.(1 - n) files which I suppose are created when a run is executed their timestamps are once a day. All the files are 0 bytes.

Is this created by the cron job or something else? Is there any way to not have these files created?

Here's what my cron job looks like (removing the url to the cron.php file)

wget -q http://<domain>/cron.php >/dev/null 2>&1

Thanks!

Try removing 2>&1 so that the output of the wget is just completely trashed.
