need help with this background wget process.
I run an online game, and every 10 seconds or so i need to "run" a file. In other words in needs to be executed. Its a PHP file.

The file updates vital things in my game, each time it does it its know as a "tick".

Here is the code i am using.

Code:
(wget http://www.planet-zorg.co.uk/10/myfile.php >wgetlog.log;sleep 10;./mainfile)& >/dev/null

the file is called mainfile.

It runs perfect, then i go to bed, wake up the next morning, and it has stopped. I have never had problems like this before. I asked my webhost, they tell me its a problem on my side and they arn't stopping them.

What can i do differently/what can the problem be to make it stop.

Is there any other way of doing this task in the background?

NAME

       connectagram - word unscrambling game

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page explains the Debian package connectagram .  Connectagram is a word unscrambling game. The board consists of several scram-
       bled words that are joined together. You can choose the length of the words, the amount of words,  and  the  pattern  that  the	words  are
       arranged  in. The game provides a hint option for times when you are stuck, and features an online word lookup that fetches the definitions
       of each word from www.dict.org.	Your current progress is automaticalla saved.

       Note that this game involves a large and varied word list, some of which may be considered inappropriate for children.  You  can  edit  the
       file containing the word list if you wish to remove words from your game. The location of this file varies by platform.

CONFIGURATION

       Connectionagram uses the configuration file ~/.config/GottCode/Connectagram.conf .

       It supports the following options. Each line must be in the format 'option = value'.

       Count	  the number of words

       Length	   the length of each word

FILES

       ~/.config/GottCode/Connectagram.conf
	      Configuration file with default options.
