Right i have had a google about and i have found stuff but it seems to be for people that already know what there doing!

would some one be able to give me a script for a cron job that will trigger
vip/twittercast/twittercast.php
on my server every 15 minutes.

its just a simple update script that write a message into the twitter api to display what is playing on the radio station :wink:

a rough idea on how i install or make the cron job would be much appreciated aswell thank you in advance :mrgreen:

What kind of server is your website on? If you're using a windows server you need to setup a scheduled task. If you're on Linux you need to have admin or sudo permissions.
