Robot Scheduler...

    Hey,
    I have a MySQL database that my site uses.
    It contains information from other sites (i pull rss feeds from other sites and save the relevant information in a db).

    The info i'm pulling from the rss feed updates regularly and i need to keep my site up to date.

    At the moment i have a php script that i built and I run it once a day manually.

    How can i build an automatic scheduler that knows to run the update code once a day by it's self?
    What technology to use (can php do this?!? :confused: ...) ?
    - my site is on a shared hosting plan with Linux.


    Thanks

    Should have cron available. You can set the script to run from it.
