I have a module that allows products to be added into an affilliatewindow.com account.

When a product is added or updated in OSC admin,  we simply tick a box that adds a '1' into a new field in the 'products' table - nothing to trick here i know! - and every 24 hours a CRON job  runs that does everything required so that Affiliate Window's can add the generated file to our account via ftp, thus making any product avaliable to our affiliates.

At present, as stated, the leg work is done by a CRON job. As this (CRON jobs / admin access on a server) is probably unavailable to many OSC users, I was looking for thoughts on how to overcome this high(er) level system access issue.

Also further feature suggestion are desired. I will be releasing the module as a downloadable package asap.
