Im looking for a way to auto execute a cgi scipt on my linux mandrake apache webserver ever 15 min.

I know the cgi scipts can be execute simply by typing the name of the script at the command promt. Im not sure if there is a command u could use to do this or if there is a program i can download for linux.
 
f117bomb,
Have a look at the manual pages for crontab and cron. These allow you to schedule scripts for execution at regular intervals.
Cheers, Neil
