Talk:Cron
Comment from Eloy:
"If there is some template to mark one page as "require some love" I'd say https://docs.moodle.org/en/Cron requires it. It talks 99% of the time to use web-browser cron. Only 1 line talks about cli cron." --Helen Foster 20:44, 9 November 2011 (WST)
- I just noticed this comment. Cron is not one of my special areas of knowledge but obviously use it. Did a quick "Cron CLI" on the web and got lost in how to program a php file to run cron jobs. Saw the note about 2.0 and CLI on this page.
I think Eloy's comment is also saying that this page is too long and could be split up? For example use a navtrail and a Cron template. Proposed pages:
- Cron page - Overview section
- Cron with Windows OS page - move section.
- Cron with MAC OS X page - move section
- Cron with web hosting services page - move section
- Cron with UNIX page - move section
- Cron reports
- Cron settings

Notice that I am using the phrase "the Moodle cron process". As I understand it, this process can be triggered via admin/cron.php OR via a cron service at admin/cli/cron.php. Frankly, I am not sure how lib/cronlib.php works with either of these trigeer points but I don't think that is important for the site admin. The old cron page refered to cron.php with the assumption that it was in admin. To avoid confusion for a new user, I decided to call it a Moodle cron process.--Chris collman 23:57, 19 November 2011 (WST)
