[TYPO3] Problems with cronjob!

[Claus Bach]

Hi,

I still have problem with my cron job.

My provider tells my that it is not possible to excecute lynx and wget 
on the server.  When I try I get: "Permission denied". He can't tell my 
what textbrowser I can use, but that TYPO3 will place a browser in 
usr/bin/. I have tryed to find something about that in the 
documantation, but I couldn't.

Actually I don't undertand why I can't excecute lynx on the server. 
Isn't it a question about a permission ? If anybody else can do it .....

Hope somebody can help!

Regards, Claus
