I don't know what you are trying to accomplish exactly, so I might
miss the point.

We usually do such things with a cron job.
One of our applications stores all information regarding
hosting accounts in a database, including the databases
that need to be created. The cron job checks if it needs
to create a database and if so it'll create it and sets a
flag that it has been created.

This works really well for us. But as said maybe you've
got different needs.


Best regards,

Ton
