a) what would be a commandline for crontab

If you are on a unix or linux server and have shell access, you can make a crontab by putting this line:

5,15,25,35,45,55 * * * * /usr/bin/lynx -source "http://www.yourserver.com/vbdir/gateway.php?log=cron"

in a text file, let's say it's name is crontab.txt, and then type in at the command line:
crontab crontab.txt

That'll set you up with a cron job that'll execute every 10 minutes. You can change the 5,15, etc part to be whatever you want. That corresponds to the minutes of the hours.
