Even when I redirect output to /dev/null in the cron I still end up with 100 very small index.php files on my server (see attached screenshot).
Is the only way to not have those files generated is to use the CLI version with --quiet or is there some other trick I just missed in the documentation? An example of the cron job I've set up is below:
wget --max-redirect=10000 "http://www.domain.com/index.php?option=com_akeeba&view=backup&key=[redacted]" > /dev/null 2>&1
