Question

I got a shared hosting account and am a php developer. Would it be possible to use cron and a bash script to daily commit a new copy of my developing code to svn for I don’t have to worry about doing it myself? If so, any links to where I can find tutorial-like articles to do this?

Note, I know this may commit non-working code to a svn repo which may leave a bad taste in many peoples mouths, but I’d like to do it regularly anyway.

If you’re allowed to run Crons, you could try a simple shell script like so:

cd /path/to/code/directory
svn commit -m "Daily commit of all code"

Basically just save this as “daily_commit.sh” and have the cron job system execute it on a daily basis.
