It wasn't I - I have no problem with cron jobs in general; I do have a
problem with the misuse of cron jobs (or other things), but that doesn't
seem to be the problem here.
As long as your hosting company allows you to run cron jobs, this seems
like a good way to go. PHP runs fine as a CLI application as well as
under a web server. And I've never seen a server where just one is
installed (although it's possible, I guess).
