I totally agree with you, mootmail. I'd rather not override the script
timeout value, because I'm guaranteed (to some extent) that this script
will take longer than that.

This is indeed the final step in the importing process, so I really
like the idea of having another PHP script handle the long operation.
But how do I get *that* script to avoid timeouts? Is sending it to the
background sufficient? Won't it still be susceptible to the PHP timeout
value?

Additionally, how would I pass parameters to such a script?

Many thanks!
