wget and spider CRON commands on shared hosting
I've old php script which is running on shared hosting.
In order to use all the functionality I should use this CRON task command:wget --spider -O - http://web.com/cron >/dev/null 4>&8
But the problem is that my CronJob in cPanel only accepts plain URL. No external commands are allowed.
So the question is simple, is there a way to execute these commands: "wget --spider -O - and >/dev/null 4>&8"
Example is needed
php cron web-crawler wget shared-hosting

The only way is to create a PHP file with the command inside and set the crontab to execute it, but since you're on shared hosting, probably the exec command will be disabled:
<?php
echo exec('wget --spider -O - http://web.com/cron >/dev/null 4>&8');
?>
The other way is to send me the spider's source code (hristotorbov@gmail.com) so I can try to change it to a argument-free (without --spider requirement).
