cron and wget

    maybe this is the wrong forum, but i am using a php cron script which works, but everytime it runs, it creates a copy of itself in the root folder (if it exists, it adds a new copy i.e. script.php, script1.php, script2.php...)

    is there something to add to this line so it won't make that copy?

    15 04 * * * wget http://www.domain.com/cjob.php
    Code (markup):

    Try:

    15 04 * * * wget --spider http://www.domain.com/cjob.php
    Code (markup):
    So it's only visit the url, but will not save it.
