I would not be exaggerating to say that I've written over a
thousand command line applications in PHP since about 2003. For a
variety of reasons and uses (more and more because my wife needs
something done or I'm adding more home automation stuff) I write no
less than ten each week. For the majority, it's because it's easier
than writing it in C and more portable than Bash --- I can write a PHP
script and put it on a dozen machines at home and in the offices and
it'll work the same (when written properly). No need to worry about
OS or architecture.
