Our Sysadmin, who art in the server room,
Whose name I think is Bob;
As soon as you're done with your mortgage,
And we flog those newbies you asked us to,
Give us this day our daily uptime.
Forgive us our runaway MySQL processes
As we forgive those who trespass against our own idle time.
And lead us not into stupidity,
But deliver us the appropriate tool for the job.

PHP *is* just for web development.  The fact that you CAN do other
things with it doesn't mean you should.  You might want to add Perl to
your toolbox if you're doing system admin stuff with PHP.
