RE: release site

Use both. To delete index.html at midnight on Feb. 1, 2004 add this to your crontab:

0 0 1 2 2004 rm /path/to/dir/index.html

To rename index2.php to index.php:

0 0 1 2 2004 mv /path/to/dir/index2.php /path/to/dir/index.php

For the countdown clock on a webpage, just use PHP to display it. The number of seconds can be gotten from:
php Code:
Original - php Code
  1.  
  2. $num_secs = mktime(0, 0, 0, 2, 1, 2004) - time();
