Description |
|
4 |
----------- |
|
5 |
||
6 |
Poormanscron is a module which runs the Drupal cron operations without |
|
7 |
needing the cron application. |
|
8 |
||
9 |
For every page view, this module checks to see if our last cron run was more |
|
10 |
than 1 hour ago (this period is configurable). If so, the cron hooks are |
|
11 |
executed (which, for example, update RSS/syndication blocks), and Drupal |
|
12 |
is happy. These cron hooks fire after all HTML is returned to the browser, |
|
13 |
so the user who kicks off the cron jobs should not notice any delay. |
