That's a lot of work...and testing. I probably have less than a dozen global
variables and functions in my app, but there's always "but".... A curl call
every hour or so...or even once a day with good caching seems so much easier
and safer.

What about issuing a command line call? Although opening up this
functionality adds so many security risks.
