rob, please keep list topics on list for the benefit of others.
if you dont get the answer you looking for; allow me to propose
a dirty workaround.
put the script in the webroot; then you can invoke it from cron
using curl; i imagine they have that installed. you can protect
the script with the following as the first line
if($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] !== '127.0.0.1') { die; }
then you could hit if from cron as in
`which curl` http://localhost/backup.php
im now waiting for what will surely be moments for another member
of the list to hack this idea to pieces ;)
but it was fun to think up!
