Hi All,
I'm having a site developed and one of the elements of it is a cron script that runs once each day to do updates, issue renewal emails, archieve data etc.
My hosting company has said that they will not allow this it to run, is this common? They have suggested getting the developers to right a CGI script instead.
I have no idea what cron is but am a little concerned that the site may not function properly know, so don't know whether its best to switch hosting company or get the developers to re write this.
Any advice would be appreciated.
