Even if you can't get, or don't want to bother getting, PHP as a standalone CGI type program, you can still execute via crontab. Make a web page that you want to have run, then put something along the lines of: lynx http://localhost/scriptname.php as the command in the crontab file. Do note, you'll likely need to take steps to protect the script from being run by people you don't want touching it. You could use SSL, cookies and REMOTE_ADDR, among other things to accomplish that. --Dan -- PHP scripts that make your job easier http://www.analysisandsolutions.com/code/ SQL Solution | Layout Solution | Form Solution T H E A N A L Y S I S A N D S O L U T I O N S C O M P A N Y
