Yep.  Just do "php whatever.php" and away it goes.  There's a php 
binary in /usr/bin.

You can test by making a test.php in any directory and putting

<? phpinfo(); ?>

in it, then do "php ./test.php" and watch the HTML spew forth.  :)

Upon further research (Chilisoft forums) about ASP and cron, the lynx 
kludge I mentioned is the only apparent way to "script" ASP via cron 
or commandline:

So it can be done, just not as elegantly as with PHP, Perl, etc.
