Hi.
I have written a script which outputs a rather large ZIP file ( 200
MB ) by collecting a large amount of PDF files and html pages. When
the script is done, the available amount of free memory has decreased
by about 20 - 30%. Running 'periodic' on my machine ( Apple Xserve G5
with Mac OS 10.4 server) restores the available memory to a more
proper size.
The question is: how can I execute 'periodic daily|weekly|monthly'
from my script? Is this possible at all? I know that 'periodic' needs
root. And all PHP code is executed as www user which doesn't have
root privileges. Would I compromise my servers security when granting
root privileges to a script that executes 'periodic' (which could be
called from the script that outputs the ZIP archive)?
thanks
/frank
