wget -O /dev/null http://www.site.com/ow_cron/run.php

Using above will not write the files like run.php.*

Contact your hosting support to check what options they support on your server.

wget generally creates a files with the output pulled. Some servers use different dummy ouput device instead of /dev/null

Ok thanks...

what the use of the cron for the oxwall installation?

Purusothaman Ramanujam
You mean during installation or running oxwall network?

For installation, cron is not required. But after that its required to make the site work properly. some plugins like virtual gifts need cron to uninstall the plugin too.
