[snip] I am wondering if it would be possible to activate a php script via cron periodicly.
Can anybody give me a hint on that or knows a good article? [/snip] If you can run PHP from the command line, i.e. php thisscript.php it means that you have installed PHP as a standalone executable. If so you can include the following bash line in your PHP script (as the first line, just like PERL, or any other shell script); #!/path/to/php Then you can set up your CRON to call the script directly. You can compile PHP as a standalone quite easily, if you compiled it before it should only take you a few minutes. HTH! Jay "Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in his shoes.
