Wen, I'm not clear on what you're looking for. You want to schedule something in cron to run a script that does what? Cron is a unix scheduling tool, via which you can trigger shell scripts to occur at specific intervals/points in time. Sounds like what you may want is a script that acts only after some other actions are complete. You could do that by building a script that checks periodically (presuming there is some trigger to check for) and effects only when found. For instance, you can build a unix shell script like this: #! /bin/tcsh /usr/local/bin/mysql -t -uUSERNAME -pPASSWORD DATABASE <<QUERY_INPUT select CRITERIA from TABLE; QUERY_INPUT then execute it via cron, piping the output to a file. Making it do what you want depends on what you want to do, and may require appropriate knowledge of cron, mysql and php. Start with "man cron", www.php.net and www.mysql.com.
