Answer 1

there is a good article here how to setup cron job on Mac OS X

you would have to edit a textfile(crontabtaskfile)and add for example

0      */1     *       *       *      php path/to/yourphp.php

this would give you a task running every hour (1:00, 2:00) .

and use crontab crontabtaskfile

Answer 2

Cronnix http://code.google.com/p/cronnix/ or the command line for editing cron tabs.
