Okay, that does sound more efficient. I'd love to give this a try, but to be
completely honest I haven't done much from the shell other than basic
commands and managing MySQL. I do know that my host allows me to use
crontab, though, and most other common *nix programs.

Could you (or any of the other readers) explain how I would go about using
cron or at to do what my function is trying to do?
