You're probably right -- although I still like the idea of being able to 
do it automatically from the command line, even if it is complicated 
(although maybe it's not possible). The nice thing about it being a cron 
  job is that I could run it nightly and it would cache the 5-10 images 
that the client modified or added on a given day, and I wouldn't have to 
think about it.
