This is a serious security hazard. However, what you could do is have a PHP page set cron settings (such as name of file, location, frequency, and importance), then have another cron job (running at a decent frequency) do the organization. However, this is still a security flaw, as hackers can just take a look at your cron jobs and get in and run their own in place of yours. Probably no more a flaw than normal, though, as if a hacker can get in to replace your cron job, they can get in and run any number of things anyway. Make sure to hard code your cron jobs, as having a downloadable page is a bigger security hazard. You don't want the PHP page to do this itself, because it will have to run as root. I did this one time, and if I'm allowed some time to get my page up, I can e-mail you some instructions. What you'll need is a PHP page, a txt file (for the settings) and a cron job that will read the file and do the necessary steps to arrange the cron jobs itself. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
