Re: [PHP] newbie: cron jobs
crontab -e You'd have to write a pretty clever script.

RE: [PHP] newbie: cron jobs
1: Yes, if your host has given you permission to run cron jobs. Some hosts lock cron to only root or to a specific subset of users. If you have permission to create them, crontab -e will give you the editor to edit them. (hint: man crontab. read it. Now read it again.) 2: man cron, man crontab, http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=cron+tutorial 3: This is one of those, "If you have to ask, you can't afford it" questions. Technically, no, there is nothing special about a "cron job" cron is a program that runs other programs or shell scripts at pre-determined intervals. However, it doesn't bother to check to see if it's a good idea to run the job or if you are going to eradicate all life on earth by running this job. cron just runs the job. If I were you, I'd consult with a professional or at least a ranking armature before trying to implement a cron job on any machine you care about.
