Running scripts at a specific time...

I want to run a specific php script at a time that i specify in the future. I have done a search and found that cron will do this for me. But, Im running on a shared webserver. So, is there any way i could do this?

Look in the control panel of your site and there is usually a thing that will allow you to do cron-jobs, Other than that ask your host to set one up for you.
BTW, I live realy close to you, Just down Beach BLVD

If you have shell access to the server (meaning you can SSH into it), then you can setup the cron quite easily.

at the prompt, just do this:

crontab -e

That will open up your current cron in a unix text editor (probably vi). From there you should be set.

Write a script and run it through a Scheduled Task on your Windows machine and have it execute the script over HTTP. (it would work)
