No. But you can make it only accessable to the user who's ID is being
used to run the job by crond. See the documentation for the user
permissions for whatever OS is running thing. On unix-like systems, you
want to look at chmod(1). More detail than this isn't topical for a php
newsgroup, though.

Way, way, way too complicated. Stop thinking "page", start thinking
"script file".
