Hey all ya out there!

I have a question..


Now,, I have a script that runs for signs someone up and sets the day they signed up.. Now,,,,,, I want the script automaticly to send an email when 7 days have gone by, 1 week.. Heres the thing though i can do that BUT, i want to know if it can be done witout the script being called to the browser. Like i am not there to call the cgi script to send the email on the 7th day. How can i make it so that it can do that itself?????????:confused:



Any help is very much appreciated. :thumbsup:

Well as every one can see not to many people new how to do this.. I found out though.. So if any one wants to know a good way to call you perl or asp ect.. script on your browser without having to have it on your actual browser. 1 one to do it is with CRON.
Cran tabs ect...


A very good way to do it endeed :D:D:D:D

There really isnt any other way to do it. I'm sure theirs other programs like crontab, but no other ways that I can think of.
