Probably the easiest way is to set up cron to call a php script every 5 mins or whatever the smallest interval you will need and have that script run through your mysql tables looking for jobs to do. That way you only need one cron job. If you are on unix type server the simplest is to use lynx like this 5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * /usr/bin/lynx -dump http://domain.com/chkjob.php 1> /dev/null 2> /dev/null -- regards, Tom -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
