Thanks for the tip, altough I don't like the idea of polling. However it
seems its the easiest way to do this nicely.
Perhaps I will do some kind of semaphore file the polling script checks
and the php script sets. That way there is no need for the polling sript
to handle the database everytime (shouldn't take too much system resources).
