Hi I know the crons are set normal, just puzzles me as these are set to activate at 3am i get the reports during the day, every few minutes 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bear Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 I'd be willing to guess that someone (spider, person?) has guessed the link to them and is hitting it via the web. You should consider changing the admin folder name (better security that way as well) and possibly setting up http auth to prevent external access and see if that stops it. That shouldn't affect the cron. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
