Usually when you setup a cron job, you specify a path on the local server to run and how often you want it to run. Just curious, where did you enter the line 'curl -s -o /dev/null http://www.domain.com/daemons/nicebook?
Depending on your level of experience, you might want to brush up on cron jobs in general and cake's console: http://kevin.vanzonneveld.net/techblog/article/schedule_tasks_on_linux_using_crontab/ (note: didn't actually read the whole thing but seemed decent) http://book.cakephp.org/view/108/The-CakePHP-Console Good luck!
