I have attached an upgrade to my previous cron-curl.sh script.
The improvments allow multiple sites to be cron'd using the same scripts/cron-curl.sh file ...without a need to create multiple shell scripts for each domain running on the same Drupal code base.

This works by accepting a parameter to the shell script, this can be a domain name, or a complete domain name & sub-directory.

Its execution for 'dev.example.com' would be would be as follows:

*/5 * * * * /var/www/html/drupal/scripts/cron-curl.sh dev.example.com /dev/null 2>&1

The same parameter system could be implemented in the other Drupal bundled scripts.

I rolled a patch for HEAD. Untested, though.

Looks handy. I'd be happy to commit this iff:

  1. cron-lynx.sh is updated accordingly. Best to keep both similar.
  2. The documentation is updated properly.

How about merging all of the scripts, dynamically checking whether lynx, wget, curl, links, w3m, whatever is available and using the first one which is found? Does that make sense?

Any chance this cron-curl script is going to turn up in Core 6.x? It's been hanging around for ages, and is so small it hardly needs thinking about?

It also needs the cron key now, should'nt we just remove these files, I guess Drush is getting more and more widespread nowdays.
