How to pass multiple parameters to cron job with curl?

I'm running two cron jobs:

This one executes without a problem:

curl -sS http://example.com/cronjob.php?days=1

But this doesn't run at all:

curl -sS http://example.com/cronjob.php?days=1&month=1

Is this because of the ampersand (&)? If yes, how to pass multiple parameters?

Using argv is not an option.

You'll notice that this doesn't exactly work in your shell, either.

What you need to do is put single quotes around the URL, like so:

curl -sS 'http://example.com/cronjob.php?days=1&month=1'

As an alternative way, you can use \ before & which is a special character for shell. Generally, & is one of special characters that are meaningful for shell.

So, using a backslash [beside Quoting solution] can be a good solution to this problem. more

In your example you can simply apply this command:

curl -sS http://example.com/cronjob.php?days=1\&month=1

Try a POST Request

curl -d "days=1&month=1" www.example.com/cronjob.php
