Yes, TNP has no idea how the real world works.  He's very good at 
quoting things, but not so much at understanding them.

If you use a cron job with a database you'll have to check on every 
wakeup.  Not a tremendous overhead, but a lot more than TNP thinks.  And 
if the database is remote, the overhead is even more significant.

Alternatively you could use a daemon which monitors a UNIX (or TCP/IP) 
socket and send it a message when you need to do something.  That 
wouldn't have a lot of overhead.

But since you need to use CGI anyway, you might as well just enable 
exec() via a php.ini that only you use.
