Description Consider requiring running cron_bridge.php from the command line except when querying; do not allow web requests.

Note that this will break the ability to use an external Cron service. Documentation will need updating.
Steps to reproduce

Additional information 1. It is more secure and prevents possible DDoS from web requests to the script.
2. It is much more stable; Cron handles jobs which might normally time out if executed through the web (some servers don't allow raising time limits) which can cause, at worst, corruption.
