Thanks so much for all your help. I took the second route you here
suggest. And I got it to work, for the most part. The RSS feeds are
being created. However, the script is not allowed to run chmod() when
it is called by cron, though it has no problem running chmod() when it
is called from the browser. Why would that be? Is the user different?
Is the user Apache when it is called from the browser, and PHP when
called as a shell script? If so, I assume PHP lacks the rights to
overwrite what Apache did?
It also says gethostbyaddr() is not working. I don't know why. It seems
to work when the script is called from the browser.
I'm getting this, which confirms success but also has error messages:
