[buug] Firing a URL with lynx?

Hi all,

I have a PHP script I wrote that fires off an email to members of a
web site to let them know at the end of the day all the updates to the 
site for that day.

I was wondering if it's possible to put a call to lynx in a chron job
and have it fire off the URL, but then also kill itself once it has done
the URL.

I have looked through the options in the man pages, but didn't see
anything that would cause it to terminate after executing the script.

Anyone know how this can be done, if it can be done?

Thanks,
Skip
