CRON tasks for email publishing

Hello
I have an issue with CRON jobs to enable mail publishing.
(Gmail validation is successful)
I updated the CRON.php file with the domain.
My cpanel allows me php commands.
I tried the following without any luck:

/bin/wget -O /dev/null "https://mysite.net/index.php?option=com_easyblog&;task=cron"
Exec(wget -O /dev/null 'https://mysite.net/index.php?option=com_easyblog&;task=cron');

I have opened an incident with them to figure the wget path but would you have encountered the issue before?
I'm not a php expert and it looks like wget is not a php command.
Php is complaining not just about path but also characters as only these seem to be accepted: -_./

Please advise if you can!
