I am setting up a game server on my site BNT (Black Nova Traders) and I have the SQL and settings portions out of the way. The only thing holding me up is the cron job for this one. It just needs to dump a php file using lynx (or whatever browser you folks have). Here is the example from their install instructions:
A sample crontab follows:

*/6 * * * * /usr/bin/lynx --dump http://www.ambrosialpariah.com/bnt/scheduler.php?swordfish=password > /dev/null . I obviously have tried inputting this through CPanel to no avail (not as is obviously I adapted the timing table on left to filling in the right boxes in CPanel), and I have uploaded my picture ID for shell access (just waiting on response).

OK in case anyone needs the info I figured it out. the problem is lynx does not have a default config on this site. just add lynx -cfg=/dev/null <address>
