You *may* be able to start a script in the background, but once the
first request to the webserver finishes, you can't interact with the
file again.
I would say do the check on every page load and popup your popup then.
You could also add some JS to make a call back to the webserver (via a
hidden iframe) to check to see if it should popup.
You could also run a PHP script from cron that writes a file (to /tmp,
say) that lets a request know when to popup. On every request, you
check for the file and popup if it's there. I definate;y do not
suggest this one.
