Curious if many use that plugin. I need to come up with an easy way for a site owner to manage a series of cron schedules from within BW for external processes that need to be done on the website. For number of reasons, I can't depend on the hosting site to either provide cron access or access in a form that is usable...
So I am looking into integrating the package pseudo-cron into a plugin as the existing plugin is not as flexible. This would use site.cron to allow the site owner to easily manage the external schedules using the flexible Pseudo-Cron crontabs. This would allow for things like: # Site functions * * * * * updaterealtimelog.php # Update Realtime.log (every minute) 20 2 10 * * rotaterealtimelog.php # Rotate Realtime.log (on the 10th of the month at 2:20am) */5 * * * * updategraphs.php # Update static graph images (Every 5 minutes) */15 * * * * updatesatmaps.php # Update satellite map static (Every 15 Minutes) # BW functions... 30 * * * * somefunc param1=one param2=two # Perform BW function (Once an hour at 30 minutes past) The external Pseudo-cron would be modified to look for the crontabs in site.cron instead of crontab.txt like it currently does. Logfiles it creates would be also modified so that they show up in perhaps something like site.cron.log BTW... for timing... this could be setup to be triggered by action of the website (like placing an include in the field/index.php file perhaps, but for this application a remote workstation will be making a unique coded URL call to the website once a minute. It already sends data to the website that often so it was easy to do that as well. So items could be scheduled as often as once a minute in a fairly reliable method.
