Ahh. I included this in my PHP script for debugging:
echo get_current_user();
and it spits out "root" when I run via admserv. When I run that same
script in a regular site it spits out the siteadmin instead of root.
That's why I thought admserv was running the script as root.
I was thinking the permissions error was related to the restrictions on
the symlink function when running in safe mode, as per this list:
http://php.net/manual/en/features.safe-mode.functions.php
Okay, I guess I will pursue the cron job approach as suggested by others.
Regards,
David Thacker
