The agregator software must run a one line command every 15 minutes to=20 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=20 *without crontab* could run the command I need. Any help would be appreciated.
