Does anyone have any idea how to do this?

Hi everyone. I'm making a few scripts in PHP, and I've run into a problem.

I'm making a mailing list script, and I need to have the mail sent out every night at midnight. How can I set the server to automaticaly run the PHP file every 24 hours at 12:00am?

Also, I'm making an auction script, and I need the server to run a PHP file every minute. The file will check the status of all the auctions, and if an auction's time has run out, it'll close it, and email the participants.

I'm going to be running the scripts on Apache /w PHP4 and MySQL.

So... any ideas on how I can set the server to automaticaly run one file every 24 hours, and another file every 60 seconds? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Jesus! The topic got shifted off the page in less than a day...

If no one knows how I can do this, can someone at least suggest another good forum where I can ask?
