 ===Cron on Linux Systems===
 On most Linux systems, you can simply run the commands below. We would recommend running the Cron every thirty (30) minutes or less. On a busy site, you might want to run it every ten (10) minutes. The more frequently you run it, the less load there will be on the server.<br/>
- lynx -source "http://www.domain.com/index.php?option=com_community&task=cron" > /dev/null

 Lynx is a text-based browser that is installed in most hosting environments. If you do not have Lynx installed, you can use other alternatives such as wget, shown below:
- wget -O /dev/null "http://www.domain.com/index.php?option=com_community&task=cron" > /dev/null
+* wget -O /dev/null "http://www.domain.com/index.php?option=com_community&task=cron" > /dev/null
