 For a project I'm working on we needed a way to run wp-cron.php for
 multiple blogs on a network, while using crontab to run the cron at a
 fixed interval.

 However we found the issue that we not only had to call wp-cron.php for
 every single blog, but also were forced to use either wget or cURL to make
 sure every blog got called separately.


 To fix this issue I've build a replacement for wp-cron.php, currently
 called wp-cron-multi.php which allows us to have a single cron (in
 crontab), but checks all transients on all blogs which are active.

 It does allow/require some arguments, so it works perfectly in multiple
 situation (like usage of $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] and custom path to the WP
 core).

 Personally I think this would be a nice addition to the WP core, either to
 replace the current wp-cron.php file or as an addition to the current
 method.
