I tryed to contact the person who gave me the script but he is on vacation and will not be back for the next 14 days. I do have the acess to the server. As much as I understand I have to put the script onto the server in the directory cgi-bin for it to run. There is another script that runs this one every 6 hours.

I thaught I might put the script there, under another name and chage the output file location so it would not disrupt the original script job. However I do not know how to make it run, because it will be run only under the original name (since there is another script that makes it start).

So basically, how do I make it run? I use WinSCP to connect to the server.

Thanks again!
