I'm writing a set of scripts that i'll eventually want to sell or give away to other webmasters.. Obviously i want to make it as easy as possible when it comes time for them to install it on their own server.
Part of the process will be installing a lynx or cron job to run every day. I don't want them to have to telnet/ssh into their server and add the cron line manually.. (Most won't even have access to telnet or ssh).
Can i somehow add a line to my setup.php script that would add this cron line to crontab?
I've seen similiar with perl scripts, where they have 'cronfile' which is uploaded with the rest of the scripts to your server, and apparently linux knows what to do with this file.
