/**
 * This is a slightly strange file. It is not designed to ever be run directly from within SMF's
 * conventional running, but called externally to facilitate background tasks. It can be called
 * either directly or via cron, and in either case will completely ignore anything supplied
 * via command line, or $_GET, $_POST, $_COOKIE etc. because those things should never affect the
 * running of this script.
 *
 * Because of the way this runs, etc. we do need some of SMF but not everything to try to keep this
 * running a little bit faster.
