10 minute interval and who's online was showing this...
Manually running the program is working properly and it takes about 8 seconds run.
So the information, 80 hours, is the next possible source to look over.
How many days did it take to log the 80 hours ? 20 days?
Who's online has this:
2 Visitor(s) online (Considered inactive after 5 minutes. Removed after 15 minutes)
This is my
theory since I don't use who's online.
I believe who's online is recognizing the nws-alerts.php file being ran every ten minutes and is continually cycling active and inactive for 24 hours a day.
