[Typo3-dev] Typo3 alternative to cron (?)

[Arne Skjaerholt]

What you want to do is rather tricky to do with PHP (or perl or python
for that matter). To get this to work the way you want you have to
essentially write your own cron daemon. And, as others have pointed out,
running a daemon as a PHP script is impossible if the host has set a
max_execution_time. I'm afraid that doing what you want to do will have
some pretty interesting requirements that (IMO) are more difficult to
implement than just a crontab entry.
