Ken, I think he was talking about the use of "system" commands to invoke 
the scripts, here is snippet from his response

<<<<<

I prefer not to use more system resources than necessary.  Every time you
invoke -your- solution, assuming you're using SYSTEM, you're invoking:

      1) One bash shell for parsing SYSTEM's command, before you even call
      2) One php interpreter, both of which use
      3) Way more RAM than necessary for this simple task.


 >>>>>>

You need "system" or "user" command to invoke any shell script just the 
same.  As per RAM, lol ...
