In some other places they are called 'cron jobs' if you have access to your webserver look for that section.

Hi,
Thanks for that.
I have just sent an email to 1&1 to see how I go about setting the cron jobs up.
In their FAQ it explains how to do it from a shell but it doesnt tell you how to connect to the shell.
Does anybody have any ideas as I know that 1&1 are particularly slow at responding.
If I need to do it from my system I am not using linux, I am using XP, does that matter?
Thanks again to all,
John

I'm a 1 and 1 customer too.

You need to down load a program from your control pannel called. (Ive forgot)
But its what the recomemnd.

Down load that.

Run it from your desktop.
The settings you require should be on 1&1 for the connection.

Then you connect to your ssh
and you can then work out the comands to to time your script.

You make a script file which points to the file you want to do what ever.
and that's it.

I'm not at home now so i can send you settings etc or
point you in the right direction.

Message me your e-mail adress and i will get back to you later today.

My script automates a back up of my forums.

It did take me a while to get my head around cron jobs,
but after a while of practice.

I'm no expert but i should be able to help you get started with somthing simple.

My scriot if i remember right is CGI / Perl
as i wasnt sure if a Script file could be php or not.
But someone may answer that below.
