    I have to make simple "crawler" which working like this:

    I have 100 rss feeds in database. With simplepie, I get rss content and extract links.

    Using simple_html_dom, I parse all extracted links.

    So... this should execute on shared hosting server every x hours.... but... it is possible PHP execution time to "break" the process.

    Any ideas how to do this, but to avoid high execution time?

    Break it down into multiple cron jobs that run at shorter intervals maybe ?
