not really an issue but something which i ran into when sg moved my site to a new server. I noticed that i started receiving emails when cron job for ed was triggered every 30 minutes despite the /dev/null that was added like suggested in the ed docs. this worked fine for me on the old sg configuration. but apparentely the string should now read

wget "http(s)://http://www.yoursite.com/components/com_easydiscuss/cron.php" > /dev/null 2>&1
Hello Julius,

Ah, I see. Thanks for sharing this. We will update our documentation as soon as possible. Thanks again.

Hello Julius,

Correct me if I'm wrong, the issue is you have received cronjob email every time its run? If so, you can provide us your cpanel and we will check this for you. By the way, is your Easydiscuss email got any issue like mail not sent? Please advise.

Hi Nik, no issues at all cron is working fine and no mails in queue. Just wanted to share a changed string for the cron on siteground. The string you provide in the docs has the /dev/null to suppress mails being sent in the beginning just after wget. On (new server config) siteground, it should be appended at the end as in the string i provided in first post.
Maybe this is not the right place to share this info but did not know where else to do it
