I want to periodically run a php script.
I'm on a Linux box.
Although I'm not root on the server, I am "master of my domain."
Can I use 'cron' to run a php script?
...and if so, how do I setup and enter the 'crontab' entry?

Thanks in advance.

hi gsb,

may i ask where you are hosted at, a lot of hosting companies will
set up cron jobs for you if needed, that way they don't have to worry about someone messing with linux's task scheduler

other than that, search the web, there are many, many tutorials out there on this subject, and i believe there are some on this board if you search here as well

good luck
