Help with script

[stu7mcc]

Hi,

I have a backup script for a reseller hosting account. The idea is that all the accounts in a reseller account can be backed up every day to an external server. The only problem is the scripts seems to start backing up all the accounts at once. Is it possible to add some kind of timer to the script to slow down this process i.e. one account backs up - wait say 5 minutes - another account backs up - wait 5 minutes etc.

Any help you can offer would be appreciated.

script:-

how about sleep() or time_sleep_until()
