How to pass multiple parameters to cron job with curl?

curl cron

I'm running two cron jobs:

This one executes without a problem:

curl -sS http://example.com/cronjob.php?days=1

But this doesn't run at all:

curl -sS http://example.com/cronjob.php?days=1&month=1

Is this because of the ampersand (&)? If yes, how to pass multiple parameters?

Using argv is not an option.

Answer

You'll notice that this doesn't exactly work in your shell, either.

What you need to do is put single quotes around the URL, like so:

curl -sS 'http://example.com/cronjob.php?days=1&month=1'
