Hello,
I have a CRON job php script that I just set up not too long ago. However, I noticed that the PHP file executed (without the cron job activating). It appears that it happened when a Google Bot crawled the file, because I noticed that the following engine visited my page:
http://www.google.com/bot.html
My question is:
1) Is it possible, that by crawling my webpage, it could have executed the script?
2) How can I "hide" the CRON file from Google?
3) Would it be smart to place this file in somewhere other than my public_html directory?
Many thanks!
