Hey, if you don't have access to CRON, you could try and include the page in your index.php. Set it so it only runs once though, per day. That means that as soon as someone visits your site they activate it for that day. It'd only work if you had the traffic though.
Just an idea. Then again, I'm having one of those days....

I think there are two way of doing this. First, would be to setup a cron job under unix (which I don't know so I'm guessing here) and second, which is the easiest, would be to have that script in a page with refreshing META tags, so it would refresh itself every 24 or 12 hours. Does this make any sense?
