That won't do anything for me on the server. Note that the problem isn't strictly a web server problem. That just happens to be the place where I want to initially trigger this from. But I might also do it from a shell login. What I need is a way to kick a service so it doesn't wait for the next periodic interval to run a script. It would also be useful to have the "kick" block until the script finishes so I know when the results are available.
