Yes , you are right. The option to define only the runtime hour was 
removed some times ago from this configuration parameter - I'm sorry, I 
simply forgot this.
The same applies to the Restart Scheduler !
As I wrote in any of my last posts, both option are using the 
Schedule::Cron modules really.

Currently I'm the only one on this planet who knows simply everthing about 
assp, except the things, which nobody knows or the things I forgot :):)

from the lines 18 and 19 of assp.pl V2

# ASSP V2 pro development since 2.0.0 by

from the assp.pl V1

# ASSP V1 development since 1.9.9 14155 by Thomas Eckardt & John Calvi

You don't believe me ? Than don't use assp.

That is an interesting way of looking at things, given some 1 million 
downloads a 
month, and only more than 2k reporting. That would say you know VERY 
little about 
those downloading and using ASSP if your basing it on those reporting vs 
downloading.

I was able to rebuild the database till recently. Last data is 1/17/2015, 
so my problems 
are quite recent with regard to inability to rebuild spam database.

Is that your assumption or facts? I package ASSP on Gentoo. There are some 
30+ 
lines of sed to modify ASSP assp.pl source. I had to modify VERY little of 
that from 
previous versions. I did remove allot, but allot remained, so much of the 
code has 
carried over EXACTLY as it was in previous versions or sed would fail.

Here is an example, I have not contributed my revised ebuilds for ASSP V2. 
I could do 
a diff and you would see much of the sed remains and applies to V2 as it 
did V1

You keep referring to ASSP documentation. Is there a online documentation? 
Is there 
a man page? Or are you simply talking about the documentation inline on 
the web 
interface? Which seems to be much of the only documentation I can find 
beyond 
release notes. The PDF manual just seems to be a screenshot to pdf of the 
web 
interface.

Also that documentation is NOT clear on the schedule cron module. It 
IMPLIES that it 
is needed even for the regular scheduled times for ASSP to run 
rebuildspamdb. 
Despite what was stated, it seems that is required for either your own 
schedule, or for 
ASSP to run rebuild spamdb on its own.

Thus without schedule cron, ASSP does not have any rebuild spam database 
task as it 
seems. Despite what was said earlier.

"If not set to "noschedule" (noschedule is default) , ASSP uses scheduled 
times to run 
the RebuildSpamdb! The syntax is the same like in "Vixie" cron! To disable 
the 
Scheduler write "noschedule"! Never write quotes in to this field!
This requires an installed Schedule::Cron module in PERL.
It is possible to define more than one scheduled time per day to keep the 
Bayesian 
and HMM databes up to date, but this is not required - use 
'newReportedInterval' 
instead."


That clearly states schedule cron is required. The new reported interval 
simply alloews 
more than on schedule time. But again without schedule cron module, there 
is no 
automation of spam db rebuild as it seems.

Who are you, and I have no reason to believe you individually, when I have 
facts that 
speak otherwise.

Considering I have graphs telling me what is going on with the servers IO, 

CPU/Memory, etc for extended periods of time. There is NO point to double 
resources/expenses because someone tells me ASSP needs more. You have no 
idea 
as to my email volume. Email volume tends to determine server requirements 
far 
beyond the software you run.

If ASSP requires 4 cores and 4GB of ram, something is SEVERELY off, and 
ASSP code 
needs to be tuned and improved. I have heavy enterprise Java apps that DO 
NOT 
require such.

You realize Oracle Glassfish Enterprise Java Application server does not 
even require 
more than 2GB of memory and has no specifications on CPU. So ASSP v2 is a 
larger 
application and requires more resources than Glassfish?
