Sure, though it varies depending on your platform. Assuming you are on Unix, it is likely that you already have a CLI (command line interface) PHP installed somewhere. You can use this to create a PHP script that can be executed like any other shell script. Just put something like this at the top: #! /usr/bin/php -q Be sure it points to the location of your PHP parser (/usr/bin/php in this example). To automate scripts, look into cron: man cron man crontab Good luck. Chris
