I haven't explained well the problem and I know that wget is not a php
command :)
In practice, in the config.php related to phplist, i've configured a
task duration of 3600s for send @ 1200 emails/task duration ==> email
rate @1200emails/hour.
The problem is that the script must be run for 1 hour (the maximum
period allowed by phplist).
Running the page
../index.php?page=processqueue&login=myusername&password=mypassword &reload=0
Firefox continues for 1 hour, reloading the page (to mantain active the
queue processing), because there is a limit of the PHP script duration
that i couldn't change :(
So, i want to ask you, if there is a workaround in order to automate the
queue processing or is better that I reduce the period time and recall
the script several times (respecting the time constraint setted by the
hosting service) via wget called by another computer.
Unfortunately the office is closed (i don't have credentials) and i
can't test :(

I think that is better change the host, but my company doesn't want
invest money for more quality service.
Aruba @30 EUR/year is not the better solution :)
