Run a script without cron job

PHP
1

Hi,

How can I run a script every 10 seconds without a cron job ?

You need to find a daemon which does this for you, PHP is probably not the best thing to use.

Explain why you need to do it, and maybe you will get some more options.

Hi,

I want a script that calculates the bandwidth consumption on a streaming server, and updates the database with new data. Every 10 seconds.

If you are such a big player that you need to show/get this information in ten second intervals you would go well with a server that includes cron jobs…

every solution in php just makes no sense (and maybe is even impossible).

Is there another method to check the bandwidth usage on a Shoutcast server. Also add information into a mysql database?

Sorry for my bad english btw.

I remember this old thread asking similar questions, maybe there are some clues in it.

[google]python like cron[/google] - that might throw something up
