    hourly ?

    Is it possible to make a script that will run every hour ?
    If not with PHP is this possible with perl ?

    I ask this cause im doing a online game and i need to run a script every
    hour or close to it, i currently use a fonction that runs every time someone
    logs to one of the pages, it checks the times and acts in fonction, its not
    a problem how i did it but if could make it user independant it would be
    better.

    BTW if anyone has made a online game that needed this kind of thing too, how
    did you proceed ?

    My server allows this scripts
    Scripts
    - CGI folder
    - PHP4, Perl, C, Python, KSH, CSH
    CSH und Unix SH
    - Perl-Script-Checker

      Sounds like Unix/Linux, setup a crontab entry to run the script every hour.

          What you are looking for is cron. Login to your server using
          SSH and do a "man cron" and "man crontab" (without quotes)

                  The "man cron" and "man crontab" manual pages should be a good
                  start. If not, how about:

                  Newbie: Intro to cron
                  http://www.unixgeeks.org/security/newbie/unix/cron-1.html


                  Anyway, this has nothing to do with PHP as such, so if you want
                  help understanding how cron works it's probably better to ask in
                  an appropriate unix group.
