A good answer in this case is to write a cron job/scheduled task
that wakes up every five minutes, sends a few mails, and then dies.
The background job is controlled by a work queue, which could be a
table in the database. A system like this can send e-mail messages,
gather information,

Another strategy is to write a long-running service task in a cron job
That's actually a really good suggestion. Instead of just scheduling a
job that updates all caches that are X number of days old I can just
update the ones that have been requested in the past day.
I appreciate all of the input!

I guess that kind of answers my question. exec() might actually be the
only solution, I'm no
Fork off a php process and let it run separately. I think Synder,
Hans Z and Hendry were doing this for a app a couple of years ago with
some success. When the forked process is done it calls the original
script and reports. But you have to be conscious of garbage processes.

Something that runs in the background a
exec(), or AJAX.
