Cron tasks

Hi everybody,

I'm building an auction site which needs scripts automatically launched to scan the closing auctions.
I'll use Linux's crontab.

I'd prefer to avoid installing Php as a cgi and prefer to keep my apache module config.
I'd also prefer to avoid the use of a browser as lynx to do this job because I fear the time-out

How I can launch my scripts?

Thank you in advance :o)

Kind regards, Sebastien

Well you don't have to have the PHP CGI online, you could always just keep it in a separated area and only use it for these update functions. The server could still use the module, and you could do your updates, problem solved. 🙂
