Re: Autorunning a file

Thanks for the replies. I'm going to have to check what the server is, I'm not the one with the hosting account, so no direct access to the server (yet, will probably get it when I need to). The only problem I see with thise solution here is that the page that the script will be in won't be directly accessed, which is a requirement for JavaScript. I plan to keep this as a hidden file, so the visitors aren't aware of its existence. I thought of creating a script on the index that checks the time and if it's a certain time runs the script for this, but then I realized that there may not be a visitor calling the index at the time I need it. I'll look into the cron job.
