Sorry if I was terse.  I'll try to do better:

I have data in a mysql database. In order to present this I (or rather
a cron script) usually run on the command line something like:

echo 'SELECT * FROM footable' | mysql -h foo.bar.edu -u foouser -p
--html bar_db > temp.html

Then a webpage.php file adds some more headers, css styling etc. and
presents this page. Something like:

http://files.getdropbox.com/u/118481/mqsql_html.jpg


Unfortunately there are several such "autogenerated" pages and it is
hard to keep track of up-to-date menus, links etc. I was wondering if
this was facilitated by Drupal. Maybe even if Drupal was the right
tool for this job at all.
