You could just as easily write a Bash script that queries the database and runs every five minutes. I don't know php but I expect that you could set up a batch php job - assuming php supports batch programs! - and run it whenever you want via cron. There are even versions of cron for Windows which could presumably do the same on Microsoft platforms. Rhino -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
