Prolly to do specific things that you can't do in PHP. Hmmm, furtle,
furtle:

Looks like I do it:

1) to open a file using the designated app for the file, in a window on
the user's screen. So I do:

$cmd = "/usr/bin/open \"" . $filename . "\" 2>&1";
exec ($cmd, $results, $result);

or possibly:

exec ("/usr/bin/open -a Safari.app 'http://...");

2) Starting and stopping apache, as in:

$cmd = "/usr/sbin/httpd -f \"" . $fno . "\" 2>&1";
exec ($cmd, $results, $result);

or the same with -k stop.

But I agree, these are not in cron jobs. Although if I had a cron job to
run I'd prolly do it in PHP if at all possible.
