I also have this error on Google Webmaster tools
Your Sitemap exceeds the maximum file size limit. Please create multiple Sitemaps containing fewer URLs to meet the file size limit.
Can I split the sitemap into multiple sitemaps ?
You will have to split it yourself. You can try one of my scripts for that.
Let me know if it does what you need. Should be at:

What about the first issue ?
Sorry forgot about that one.
If that is the correct command line (Never tried!) then you would need to invoke lynx or another browser that can run from the command line.
You would need to run something like
lynx -dump "http://www.xxxx.com/?sm_command=build:"
and you may need to put that in a shell script depending on your host. Also you might want to redirect the output to /dev/nul
Do not see how that would help with CPU time or memory. Just a change in where i is invoked from. You might need to increase one.
Thank you. I’ma give it a try…
yes i m having the same problem i dont want to run the built in cron at the time of post .. instead of that i want it to run through cpanel cron jobs. i have added the interval of 6 hours. so cron runs 4 times a day(24 hours). but it keeps saying the same thig as the topic starter posted
this is what i have mentioned in cron job panel to run
http://www.mysite.com/?sm_command=build&sm_key=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
and im recieving this email on running crons
/bin/sh: http://www.mysite.com/?sm_command=build: No such file or directory
can anybody help?
@chshahid2k
Did you bother to read what I wrote above?
these inverted commas(“”) are important around the url?
and which url do i need to paste the one u have used or the complete with smkey
eg:
http://www.mysite.com/?sm_command=build&sm_key=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
@chshahid2k
With the quotes:
lynx -dump "http://mysite.com/?sm_command=build&sm_key=xxxxxxxxx"
Remember!!! You must set in the XML Sitemap Generator settings ‘Enable manual sitemap building via GET Request’ to True or it will never work!
yes im already enabled it., I am using a Mutual/Shared webhosting and. I guess my host does not allow it. this is what im getting now
email subject:
Cron <mysite@server19> lynx -dump "http://www.mysite.com/?sm_command=build&sm_key=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
email body:
/bin/sh: /usr/bin/lynx: Permission denied
Contact your hosting company. Looks like they may not allow lynx (for security reasons) but possibly curl or wget. In some cases you may not be able to run lynx diretly from a cron job but will have to put the command in a shell script. They are the ones who can tell you.
i guess im even unable to use ‘wget’ . i have tried this few days back with the plugin ‘wp o matic’ and i was getting the same error (permission denied)
email subject:
Cron <myweb@server19> wget http://www.myweb.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cron.php?code=xxxxxxx
email body:
/bin/sh: /usr/bin/wget: Permission denied
Have you contacted your hosting company? They are the only ones who can give you direction on what you CAN do. It does not matter what you can not do. If there is no options you are probably with the wrong hosting ompany.
one more thing i have noticed and wanna ask
im saving sitemap file in a folder. path to my sitemap file is
mysite.com/sitemaps/sitemaps.xml
mysite.com/sitemaps/sitemaps.xml.gz
both file have CHMOD 755 and the folder has also the permission of 755
this could be a reason that sitemaps are not being generated by GET request?
they are being generated by auto in this mode but i have just this thing in my head that it might be the problem that these are not generated by GET/Cron request
