I was having a problem running the cron script on my server. The problem was caused because HTTP/Request.php was not installed on any of the hosting company servers. So I hacked the script to use cURL instead (see below).

Code:
<?php
$sites_array = array();
$sites_array[] = 'http://yoursitehere.com';
// you need to write it exactly as you write it to get the Cron Job Key
// Cron Job key is the md5 below:
// md5('NS Pro Bounce Key For: ' . $site)
// Example: The md5 of "NS Pro Bounce Key For: http://localhost/tester364" is cdc5eaa1b9e6e1fa0e4b90fa74b898f3
$resultstring = '';
if (function_exists('http_build_query')) {
$handle = curl_init();
foreach($sites_array as $site) {
$bkey = md5('NS Pro Bounce Key For: ' . $site);
$url = $site.'/index.php?option=com_nspro&task=docronjobs';
$postData = ['extensionid' => 'NSPRO1#', 'validationid' => $bkey];
curl_setopt_array($handle,
array(
CURLOPT_URL => $url,
CURLOPT_POST => true,
CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => $postData,
CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
)
);
$page = curl_exec($handle);
$resultstring .= 'Checking website: ' . $site . "\n" . 'Key produced: ' . $bkey . "\n". 'Result: ' . $page . "\n\n";
}
if (!file_exists('cronresults')) { mkdir('cronresults'); }
$file = fopen('cronresults/cronresult' . date('Y-m-d') . '.txt', "a");
fwrite($file, $resultstring);
fclose($file);
}
