Re: [vchkpw] auto-send tool
Let me redefine my question: How can I use crontab for virtual users under vpopmail? On Thursday 07.

You should be able to define the interval, the receiver and the text to send.

Re: [vchkpw] auto-send tool
I have an webfrontend where every user/admin should be able to set the time interval, and such. So I guess cron is not dynamic enough..?!

Ain't between 'one defined day in year, at a defined time' and 'every minute' not dynamic enough? Have a look at webmin (http://www.webmin.com/), there's a 'cron editor web frontend' included. Create a special webmin account, having only access to cron part of webmin and he should be done. Or write oen your self. Using PHP or Perl this should be done really fast. For questions about how to write it in PHP or Perl, how to insert the cron job from web front end, I'd suggest you look for an appropriate newsgroup or web board, it's not really vpopmail-related :-) -- Pit

But it could be somebody on this list had an idea anyway... :) (And since I'm using vpopmail while I need this I may call it kind of related...;)
