 * Hi Folks:
 * I’ve been using FeedWordPress for a couple of weeks now… its a very nice RSS 
   agregator.
 * The only issue I currently have is that if you set it to automatically update
   itself (that is the rss feed/posts), it sometimes will take a significant amount
   of time to load the blog page if its been awhile since someone visited the page(
   i.e. the plugin only updates after the time set has expired AND someone visits
   the page).
 * The author has a way he says that it can be updated using a cron tab. Here is
   the code he gives:
    `*/15 * * * * curl --silent http://www.zyx.com/blog/?update_feedwordpress
   =1`
 * I have tried for a couple of hours different variations and cant get it to work.
   My blog is at (example): [http://www.domain.com/blog/](http://www.domain.com/blog/)
 * My server uses cPanel 11. The main error I get is: “No such file or directory”
 * I have tried it with and without parenthesis, without curl, with index.php before
   the “?update_feedwordpress=1” etc.
 * Thanks for any help.
 * Matthew

 * Ask your server admin for the location of curl, that may be the problem. I had
   to put the full path in my crontab for it to work.
 * My crontab is:
    */30 * * * * /usr/local/bin/curl -s -o /dev/null [http://www.domain.com/blog/?update_feedwordpress=1](http://www.domain.com/blog/?update_feedwordpress=1)
 * and it works OK
