Meaning that if you run the script as a cron task every minute, and lets say the cron task runs at 12:00:00 am, and things look fine, but then at 12:00:10 am (10 seconds later) the connections ramp up to 900 and things go bad, then the cron task will not run again for another 50 seconds, which then could be too late if the server crashes / becomes unresponsive before the script has a chance to run. However as long as the script can connect to the server then you should be fine, so you’ll just have to see how it goes. =)
No problem; glad to help!
