Well, I have a little Rev CGI script that works exactly the way I want it to when I summon it from the address bar using a web browser... I just want it to do its thing every 15 minutes now. I don't even know the syntax/ procedure
for that.

There's a good tutorial here.

http://www.linux-tutorial.info/modules.php?name=Tutorial&pageid=78

But basically, you need to enter a line in your crontab something like the following:

*/15   *   *   *   *   /path/to/cgi/script.rev > /dev/null

This will run the script every 15 minutes.

Like Pierre, I like to use Cronnix on OS X. I'm generally nervous around Linux, but I've used the following procedure before.

1.  Export the existing crontab to a file. The command would be

   crontab -l > /path/to/file.txt

2. Edit the file by adding your new entry (similar to the above example) at the end.

3.  Re-install the settings:

   crontab /path/to/file.txt


I suggest reading the tutorial first.
Be careful! :-)
