ISSUE SUMMARY:
Notification eMails not sent. I read most posts about this but can't find a solution. Messages posted in the stream are not being sent to other members. Is there a special setting that I may be missing? The Privacy settings are set for the desired eMail and Notification types. I want automatic email sent in all areas allowed by JomSocial.

This is my cron command:
/usr/bin/wget -O /dev/null " www.xxxxxxxxxx.org/index.php?option=com_community&task=cron " >/dev/null 2>&1
My host did not see a problem with it and suggested I add the "2>&1" if I did not want email sent to me each time a cron job ran.

Hi, Jim.

Thank you for contacting us.
Please, try if email are sent when you use NOT altered commend. You have two alternative command here:
documentation.jomsocial.com/wiki/Setting_Up_Cron_Job

On one hand you report that emails are not send and on other hand you DON'T wont emails to be sent after each cron run... is it a contradiction or I missed something? ^^

Wow! You surprise me. /usr/bin is where wget is located on the host server.
And you are missing something. 2>&1 prevents the server from sending a short message only to me, "Your cron job ran five minutes ago" and it is not a contradiction.

Would you please have someone take a look at this. I need this to work. By the way, other cron jobs are working.

HI, JIm.

Then I assign developer to further investigate this issue.
He'll contact you soon.

Hi Jim,

you can try another the easiest solution by using 3rd party cron service like easycron.com :)

thank you
