Actually, Drupal has a specific script that runs as a cron to check for
updates. And when stuff runs as a cron, the parameter passing uses the
CLI p1 p2 p3 arguments rather than the web-style "?cronjob=Y". There
must be an environment variable you can query in php that will tell you
it's being run as a CLI or CGI script.
