PHP sync with MySQL in 5 minute interval

Anon

I've written PHP script that syncronizes a MySQL database with a Sybase database. It read the MySQL database and write a mail to an account on the server with Sybase, a prog on that server reads the mail and updates the Sybase database...
Very nice I love my PHP, but here is my problem: I want it to read the MySQL database in a 5 minute interval...???

There are some aspects in my problem...
My machine is a Sun Cobalt Qube 3 with Redhat Linux and PHP 4, so I cant setup a program to refresh a browser(on less you know something I don't)
The server with Sybase is a machine in another country so I can't configure it, and it's so secure that I would not want to try...

Can anyone help me??

set up a cron script.
have the cron execute "php -q fileName";

look at "man cron" and "man crontab" if you have any questions on setting one up.
