All you have to do is to create a script with some commands that you
want to execute automatically. In our case, the script will have a
single line, so open any text editor and enter:
lynx -dump http://www.foobar.com

(Replace foobar with a site of your choice)

Let's say you name the script busyisp.sh

Now you have to make the file executable:

chmod 755 busyisp.sh

Finally, open webmin (using your web browser enter:
https://localhost:10000) and define a new cron job which should point to
busyisp.sh.

In webmin graphical interface you can set the interval at which you want
the script to be executed.

That's about it.

Also,make yourself sure that you have lynx installed.
urpmi lynx
