You can. Create a php script that does what you want. It should not create
any output, either log status/error messages or send an email.

If you save it as cron.php, you can use a command such as the following in
your crontab:

wget -q -O - www.domain.com/cron.php > /dev/null

I'm assuming you know the specifics of cron or can google for it. :)
