The first five numbers and asterisks are for cron. You don't 'run' that part

If you want to run it with cron, type...
Code:
crontab -e

to edit your crontab file and paste the whole line there.

If you want to run it from the command line, remove the * * * * * or 30 15 * * *.

No, just

Code:
/usr/bin/wget -O - -q "http://example.com/scheduler/cron"

Sorry, I missed some text in my previous post. Updated.

Code:
crontab -e

to edit your crontab file and paste the whole line there.

The first five fields (* * * * *, etc) tells cron when to run it. You don't need that on the command line.

Why didn't you just ask that from the beginning?

man -s5 crontab
