What kind or web server would you be using?  Windows or Linux type?  Anyway
that is just to know what language to program it in ph or ASPX perhaps.  It
is not that hard but you will need something to take the account back out at
the right time. Like in a cron job or something.

Let me know what platform you want to use and I'll think if how to get it
done for you ;)
