Course Suggestion - Crontab

Hi there,

I do a lot of work with gamers and often they require their sites to pull information from API's on a regular timed basis (every hour for example).

I wondered if Treehouse would consider doing on a course on how to run Crontrab using PHP. I know WordPress uses it's own where it relies on someone running a page on the website and it then runs the WordPress script to check everything. However, I'm talking about running actual Crontab jobs on the server using PHP to initialise them.

I emailed this in but I wondered if any one else in the community would be interested in this as well.
