I'm not sure if it can be done, but this is my ideea: cronjobs are
stored in a file, from what I know. So, let's say you have a list of
cronjobs to be executed at a certain time. If you have acces to the
file where cron jobs for your account are stored, edit that file from
php script after every execution. I repeat, it's just an ideea and I
have never tested it.
