Need help with remote operating a page

As opposed to clicking on links yourself

I am the webmaster for a clan in the game called Americas Army, some of you might have heard of it. We have a control pannel (pbsvweb) which allows us to take single screenshots of players in our game server, in order to see if they are cheating or not. Since taking single screenshots manually is very time consuming, I wish to setup a script which would remotely operate the control pannel for us, making the screenshots automatic.

We could setup our game server to take the screenshots automatically but the person who pay's for the server wont let us do that because it puts too much strain on the server, which lags him because he is on 56k and does not have broadband access in his area.

Firstly, can it be done?

What's the code on the page about?

You could call the page from a cronjob on the server... there would be no difference between doing this and running the script manually, so it wouldn't put any more load on the server.

The page is a control pannel we use to control our game server. It is located on a server which we do not have access to or control. If you wish to see what the page looks like, feel free to copy the code and run it. Your supposed to select a slot number, then take a screenshot.

From what I gather, a cronjob performs commands. Which commands could be issued to operate a page on someone elses server?
