If it's a php script, you can place it in your cron-daily folder on your server, but to have it execute as a shell script, you would have to add: #!/usr/bin/php -q (or whatever the path to php is on your server) at the very top of your script. The -q flag supresses the headers. You would also have to change the permissions to have the file executable. HTH, J.
