How should I set up a cron job for twitter stream? I have a php file
that consumes and adds data to database ...

f(! ($line = stream_get_line($instream, 20000, "\n"))) {

What would be the best way to put that on a cron job, will this go
infinite if I put it on a schedule, or do I need to run the script
every half hour or something?


               while(! feof($instream)) {
                       if(! ($line = stream_get_line($instream, 20000, "\n"))) {
                               continue;
                       }else{
                               $tweet = json_decode($line);
SaveData($tweet);

}

this how I consume the  tweet, and save it. How can I do this on a
schedule? right now I run it in the browser, do I set this script to
go off every hour or so? or just let it run in the background?

Please let me know.

Sam.
