Hey Paul,

Ive been using this addon for quite a while now and it has been a lifesaver... but i have a question.

Maybe it has nothing to do with your addon, and its more of a vBulletin thing, but you may know the answer anyways


I dont have much traffic on my forums (most the traffic is on the main site), so this becomes a problem when, say, in the middle of the night, i have a newsletter that needs to go out to 8,000 people that doesnt get finished until the next couple weeks.

What i tried to do to remedy this was make my local machine at home just do a simple wget of vBulletin's cron.php file every 5 minutes.

I figured this would be the best solution... but for some reason, when i look at my mailqueue from the adminpanel, it shows that the number of unsent mails never changed when i just hit the cron.php file... but it works fine if i leave a browser on the forums and make it reaload every 60 seconds.

Would you happen to have any idea how i can manually execute the cron and make my emails send out when my forums are empty?


Thanks


EDIT: I found out my problem, in case anybody got here by googling. it was in fact my wget script... if you are trying to run your cron's manually, simply make something hit cron.php on your forums.
