Re: [chiPHPug-discuss] Run a script 5 min later

[Hank M. <hma...@gm...>]

cron job.   put a time stamp in the database, cron job checks the timestamp
and executes all records > 5 minutes ... if you execute the cronjob every 5
minutes then the longest one would sit is 9:59 ... shorten the interval,
shorten the length ...

Could do the same thing with timestamps on files if you don't want to do the
database thing.
