Don't worry about cron just yet. Cron is not going to help you with any logic; it is only useful for scheduling your script to run on a specific schedule that you determine. So, in PHP, just check each of these "events" and delete any of them that are more than 9 hours old. Once you get that, adding it to cron is a simple matter of syntax. Chris
