[RESOLVED] Implementing a cronjob without actually using a cronjob

I was wondering if there was a way to create a sort of cronjob without actually having to add a new cronjob? I'm not sure if it would be possible in PHP/MySQL or if it would be better created in a dynamic scripting language.

Basically, I want to create an addition to my script that allows it to control cron's without having to rely on that server being setup with a cron tab or the user knowing how to use them. Any suggestions or pointing in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

-Thanks (=

I don't see how this would be possible. if the script isn't being scheduled to run (via a cron job), then it wouldn't ever run unless requested.

but, I'm sure it's possible to make a script that could manage cron jobs, thus not requiring the user to know how to use them (assuming you make a user friendly interface, like in CPanel).
