Godaddy Cron Job

I've made a cron job in godaddy, but it does not appear to work.

All want to do is open a html file with wget. I can't use $home... as it a rewrited url with paramaters.

I asked godaddy support. they told me to read the scripting documentation. But I've tried numerous forms of wget and can't make it work. I guess the professionals at godaddy know no more than I do.

Does anyone here know how I can get a cron job to open a url?

    wget httpdotwwwdotmydomain.com/cron

    but it failed with a 403 forbidden error.

    Did you actually follow the directions in GoDaddy's help file?

    Your example isn't a full URL, unless you're rewriting the URL in the background somewhere.

    An easy way to determine the correct URL is to modify your file to echo output, then go to the URL in a browser. If you see the output, then use that address in your cron job setup.
