Think about it - unless there's something monitoring for these conditions, how
do you expect to be able to start some PHP code when they occur?
There isn't anything in Unix which will do it. Same with MySQL. You'll need to
create something. It can either be a program which runs constantly in the
background, or (my suggestion) a cron job you kick off every so often to look
for these conditions.
