Emulate(?) the crontab

["Mário Gamito" <gamito@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I have this blog agregator in http://www.planetgeek.org

It is hosted, i. e., i'm paying for the hosting.

The agregator software must run a one line command every 15 minutes to 
rebuild the index.html of the site.

The command is
#planet.py geek/fancy/config.ini

It represents no stress at all for the server.

Meanwhile, i've asked the support to insert the line in the crontab.

Now, they want me to pay 29 euros a month for that line in the crontab.
It's outrageous. It's twice than the hosting cost itself.

I wonder if there could be written a script (bash, perl, python), that 
*without crontab* could run the command I need.

Any help would be appreciated.

Warm Regards,
Mário Gamito
