unset() and paging your batch chunks with LIMIT are the standard strategies if
you wrote the cron yourself.

You might also be able to use ini_set('memory_limit','200M'); but actually using
less memory is generally preferable.

Drush scripts (especially bulk node processing) are subject to hitting
PHP memory limits when processing large amounts of data.

Anyone have ways around that issue?

I think drush scripts are your best bet. CLI PHP is not not subject to timeout.

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
