Subject: Emulate(?) the crontab

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
