I can't get cron to work on my web site ='[
How do I do it?
I can't get to my php exe (which I think is probably a huge problem) and I can't get to my prompt.

Um - can you do a cron from another site - ie use another server to point at a page on my one?

Depends on what it's for Grim.

IE, if you want to update an SQL database, as long as the SQL port is open then yes, you could.

However if you want to run a script on the server itself, probally not. If you have php - can you not do a php or perl script, put it in part of your website, and then on the other server you can point lynx to run at it via a cron.

If you want to do this, your welcome to send me the URL and the time you want it done, and i'll run it from my server
