Start and stop cron job manually on shared host

I'm on a shared hosting plan at Bluehost and set up cron jobs through the cpanel cron job tab. I'm able to specify the periodicity and issue a command to trigger the php script. Is there a way from PHP to issue a cron job and set the periodicity and also from PHP to remove the cron job? Could someone provide a simple example? Thanks

  Hello, You could utilize the following cPanel API 2 function: cPanel API 2 Functions - Cron::add_line - Software Development Kit - cPanel Documentation You may also find the PHP client class helpful when using cPanel API functions with PHP scripts: GitHub - CpanelInc/xmlapi-php: A PHP Class for Interacting with cPanel's XML-API Thank you.
