In what scenarios would Lynx be a suitable choice for executing PHP scripts via Cronjob, and what are the considerations for terminating tasks to prevent server overload?

Lynx can be a suitable choice for executing PHP scripts via Cronjob when the server does not have direct access to the PHP command line interface. To prevent server overload, it is essential to set a maximum execution time for the task and terminate it if it exceeds that limit. 

<?php
// Set maximum execution time for the script (in seconds)
$max_execution_time = 60;

// Start the timer
$start_time = time();

// Your PHP script logic goes here

// Check if the execution time exceeds the limit
if (time() - $start_time >= $max_execution_time) {
    // Terminate the script
    exit();
}
?>
