100 strange email cron job

-- HikaShop version -- : 2.6.4
-- Joomla version -- : 3.6.5

Hello
Today I recieved about 100 emails for every minute with object:
Cron <mtyvffgb@out1> lynx -source " dominio.it/index.php?option=com_hikashop&ctrl=cron " > /dev/null

and text:

Looking up www.dominio.it
Making HTTP connection to www.dominio.it
Alert!: Unable to connect to remote host.

lynx: Can't access startfile www.dominio.it/index.php?option=com_hikashop&ctrl=cron

Why that??
what do you think
Thanks
Frank

NOw the text of the message is :
<div class="alert alert-info alert-block"><button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="alert">×</button><p>Cron di HikaShop cominciato a 2017-01-10 22:24</p></div>
I deleted the cron in the cpanel couse it kept sanding mails every minute

Hi,

You should see with your hosting to make these cron task "silent" because you don't want to be noticed by mail for every cron task execution every minute !

Please understand that it's not related to HikaShop at all but the way that the cron job has been created and configured.

Regards,

Yes I understand your point
They sayd me to use after the comand /dev/null, do you think that it can help you??
YOu know just now I saw that in your documentation at the end of the comand there is /dev/null too but I am not sure if I used before or not.
However I rebuilt the cron so I will see what will be going on

Thanks Frank

Hi,

If you have issues with "lynx", I recommend you to use "wget" instead.
Afterwards, " > " allow to redirect the stream ; but there are several stream in linux, and the error stream is handle by " 2> ".
Generally we do not recommend to catch that error stream because if there is an error, the best is to know about it ; so if lynx generate you errors which are not errors, best would be to check if wget is working better (with no data sent in the error stream).

Regards,

You know the strange is that before I didn't have any problem with lynx, all of a sudden I received all those emails.
Now I made again the cron with lynx and I dont have problem again.
What do yuo think, for your experience , why sudden I recieved the emails??

Hi,

We don't know. Our cron in our servers are always working fine.
