Queue D6 backport sounds a good idea -

Never tested it, though.

That's clear, and it makes sense. Thanks Yves!
Any pointers as to how I could have large chunks of data processed on
cron in another way?

Batch API works around the PHP timeout limitation by relying on a
client browser to iterate separate requests, each of which stays
below the time limitation.
So yes, Batch API can only be used in a UI context, which excludes
cron.
For the same reason, it is not recommended to fire a batch
processing inside an API function, since you cannot ensure it will
be executed in a safe-for-batch context.

Hi,
I'm reading contradicting posts about running Batch API
processes on cron. This is for Drupal 6 BTW.
I have tried implementing a batch functionality that should be
run on cron, but it doesn't seem to process the work that
needs to be done.
I assume this is because running the cron through a
commandline command doesn't allow for javascript...
So my questions:
- Have I implemented Batch API incorrectly, and should it
normally work also on cron?
- What is the best way to run a process that would normally
trigger a php script timeout? Can I use the Queue module for that?
I'm sure plenty of people have already tried doing this, so
I'm not sure why I can find little consistent information
about it.
Thanks for your feedback.
Sven
