Now is that really the only way to schedule stuff in a linux enviroment? I
mentione dthe crond int eh subject cause thats all I know about.

What I'm trying to get at, is it going to be impossible to schedule stuff if
the host doesn't have it setup to do that? Obviously it can be impossible
but here I mean in general for most web hosts is it a common thing to allow
or deny?

Also is there any way to check for schelduling abilities? I have no shell in
the web host I think... just ftp and http.

oh, wait, I think I do have schelduling abilities... in the control panel
stuff for the site. I'll have to go check and see as I remember seeing that.

Thanks,
Jon
