We are glad to bring you Time Alert - a service that pings your web address with certain periodicity (once every 30 minutes). This allows you to create applications that take care of themselves by running maintenance scripts without trying to squeeze all the processing into a user request. Maintenance scripts are usually run as cron jobs, but not all web hosts offer this option. Additionally, running a cron job requires a context shift - file permissions, user running the process, duration of the process, available memory/extensions/environment variables and other things are different than when a web server does it. It is much easier if everything is done as one user. Plus, configuring a cron job might be a bit confusing.
Time Alert makes it easy to create 'Living' web sites, the ones that perform whatever they like at certain intervals. If one Alert is not enough, you can create a few that would alert the same URL, however, you'll have to work out the concurrency issues (which could be fun) and polish your incremental computation skills.
