Bug#345930: moodle: upstream suggest cron job should be CLI PHP not a wget process

2006-01-04 Thread Gavin McCullagh 
Package: moodle
Version: 1.5.2-1
Severity: normal

One thing that is really important in this case is that you should
really run it via cron and php commandline. If you are running the
moodle cron via 'wget http://host/moodle/admin/cron.php' then yes, you
will have memory problems.  Using wget for the cron.php is only for
small sites.

It would seem that a wget cron job is fine except on big systems.  Is
there any good reason not to just use the CLI version then?  I guess it
means a dependency on the php4-cli package but it may also remove a
dependency on wget.  Just a suggestion.
