[ic] Recuring billing?

[Andrew Metcalfe]

Could someone give me a high level description (and suggested readings,
hopefuly) about how recurring billing works?  I've seen the 'recurring'
keyword referenced in load-cart and save-cart, but I don't think this is
what I'm looking for.

We have a monthly subscription fee for accesing our site, and want that
monthly fee processed (and billed) automagically.

We don't want the user to have to "check out" a cart for this charge, simply
have that amount billed every month.

Thoughts?

I suspect this will involve kicking something with cron, but I'm not sure
what I'd kick.
