This might sound a bit kludgy, but what i've done in the past was crontabbed a small script, inbetween other system crontabs (so as to make sure it dosn't run when other cpu intensive crons run). The script checks for a file /tmp/rebuildweb say. and if that file is touched, it will trigger the building of the website and remove the file. This is handy because it's easy to impliment and the exact same script that's used for the nightly builds can be used with only a tiny modification. I've only used this in the past because giving people direct access to do it themselves was extremely scarey (due to the permissions/build scripts and such). I've been running one production system like this for many years without a hitch! I'm sure i heard atleast a million people scream WHAT! but hey, it's one option :) Amar.
