Chris, I'm not sure what the objective of the cron job is but this curl command
curl -s -o /dev/null http://www.domain.com/daemons/nicebook won't output anything since it has the output (-o) going to the null device. To see what will result "normally" then do the curl -o <some file> "http://www.domain.com/daemons/nicebook"; I add the double quotes around the URL just to be safe.
