How can I create a cron job to automatically downlaod the anti-spam database updates (the link that is in the back office under the tab 'anti-spam')?

What is the command line that needs to be executed.

Thanks,

This thread has the command you need:

I use Isaac's antispam update script, which is just a trimmed down version that doesn't require you to be logged in. I also combine it with EdB's recheck hack, so that when I hit the page with cron, it updates the list, then rechecks all of the new entries to clear any spam that I already have. Those hacks have made my life a lot easier.

Here's the recheck hack:

and here's Isaac's:

As for the cronjob, I use wget to just download the page. I also have it email me the results, but that part is optional.
