I'm just not sure if shared memory works between web module and cli. If not, I guess you could use wget in the cron job to pull a special page from your website that does the write. Cheers, Rob. Hey! Thanks for replying. Instead of CRON i was thinking of having a file created and check the creation time everytime someone logged in... if its less than 1 min then don't do anything, if 1 min or more old... write file... No idea about shared memory, will look that up.. Everybody feel free to chip in any bits of info, theories or advise you may have. Thanks!
