One very big benefit of using a database with cron jobs is that your web
application does not need to run as the same user (or otherwise weaken
security permissions) as the Asterisk daemon.  If running as the same user,
you'd have to either set both daemons to the same group (which means the
web server has access to all other files that Asterisk writes) or world
writable, which is even worse.
