And if you wanted to have different events triggered at different timings you could do something as follows:
- Web App puts information about message and interval in a DB - Cron runs a script (every 5/15/60 minutes depending on minimum interval size) which reads the DB and if the interval matches the current time it could send the message out. I've done this a number of time in applications that sent info out at strange times (calendar/event notification applications, etc). The advantage to this is you don't have to modify the crontab for each change. You just add/remove/modify the database. -T.J.
