Babel / Server Background jobs

The Babel server running at http://babel.eclipse.org runs a number of jobs. All jobs are run from a plain user account which is not the Apache user.

*This job initiates the maps processor, which crawls Eclipse CVS and searches for new English strings:
**36 21 * * * wget http://babel.eclipse.org/babel/process_map_files.php
 
 
*This job produces our Nightly build. It essentially calls 'php5 path/to/generate1.php', and uses rsync to upload the language packs to eclipse.org servers.
**34 4 * * 1-6 ~/publishPackFromLive.sh
 
*Same job as above, but this is the weekly build.  It is uploaded to download.eclipse.org
**34 4 * * 0 ~/publishPackFromLive.sh W
 
* This job essentually calls php5 path/to/dbmaintenance_15min.php
** */15 * * * * ~/dbmaintenance_15min.sh > /dev/null
