Another sneaky way to run any script as a
 cron job is to just use wget.

eg in the script run wget "http://whateverdomain/script.php";

be sure to run it in a directory or specify where the file it will return
goes...

Note that this will also cause the script execution to show up in the log
files, so don't do this if you are passing it paswords...

gsh
