Hey Nicole, If you can run shell commands then you should be able to kick off a daemon type shell script to run a php script every xxx mins - without cron/at privileges tho' then the daemon script will have to be kicked off each time the box gets rebooted but that wont be too often I should think or hope ... Let me know if you need more info.. Cheers Rich

The server runs on a linux machine. But the user does not have ability to use crons for scheduling. Is there another way to schedule a php script to run, say, every 15 minutes without any human intervention? I am working on a maling script that currently sends out emails in real time. However, since the numbers of members are growing, the time it takes to complete is prolonged. So, I want to back up mailings in a "queue" and have them sent out every XX number of minutes instead of real time. Your suggesions are greatly appreciated! TIA!
