If you are running PHP as CGI, replacing the CGI with CLI could be problematic 
down the road...

Yup, you're completely right.  I checked the cronjob and got this:

PHP 5.2.6 (cgi) (built: Aug 11 2008 13:39:32)
Copyright (c) 1997-2008 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2008 Zend Technologies
   with Advanced PHP Debugger (APD) v0.9, , by George Schlossnagle

Turns out there's /usr/bin/php, which is the cgi version, and 
/usr/local/bin/php, which is the cli version.  So I see three possiblities.  1. 
Change the shebang on the php script itself, 2. change the crontab to reflect 
to path I care about, or 3. replace /usr/bin/php.  I'd prefer the 3rd, but does 
that cause problems for me in my actual web pages?

Thanks,
Waynn
