Hi Peder,

I haven't tried personally, but php's exec command is probably what you
are after (http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.exec.php) but you'll
obviously need to confirm permissions will allow it.

As to your cron job idea, only you can answer this. The idea itself is
sound, it all depends on whether you're users are happy to wait for
their account to be available (ie. wait for the cron job to have run) or
whether they want/need it immediately (in which case a exec command in
php would be the way to go).

Good luck. David.
