Scheduling

    I need to have a little script run on my webserver that counts down over a week and once a week is up it triggers an event.

    Anyhoo, I know the best way to go about doing this would be cron, but unfortunately I ain't got cron access frown.gif

    So my question is:
    Would it be ok to write a lil proggy to send an ALARM signal after 604800 secs and write a lil handler for it?

    Would it be a Bad Thing to do?

    Has anyone got any other ways around the no-cron-access problem?

    Cheers

    Prolly a stupid suggestion but:

    could you use something like Schedule Plus,
    have it set for a weekly event,
    the event sets a batch running that will initiate the weekly occurrance you're talking about.

    just an idea.

    Don't know, but you might be able to use crontab -e which is personal crontab
    Also there is AT
