Just out of curiosity, why do we have our current system as opposed to the more simple use of actual crime jobs?
I fitted my board with crime jobs after a while of messing with our alternative, and it's much easier.
I'm aware of the break in API and of server compatibility, but it seems still like such a good option even with said errors.

Re: cron jobs
Title says cron jobs...actual post says crime jobs...
I thought about it as well when I first started working on 3.0 then as I worked with more and more client forums I realized that not everyone has access to cron jobs especially those on shared hosting. I assume that the cron job can be set up to point at the cron.php file but not sure how that would work without the various parameters it takes.

Re: cron jobs
Oleg wrote some code to allow phpBB cron to be, well, cron, rather than virtualized cron. I think it has been merged for Ascraeus, but I didn't check just this moment.

In 3.1 you can run cron.php via cron and it will work correctly.
In 3.0 most things will work correctly but there is one action I believe that requires a list of forums to be passed in which won't work without manual modifications.

Re: cron jobs
cron (sorry about the typos, I was typing that on a phone with autocorrect ) jobs are routine server processes that runs every interval, defined in a thing called a crontab, which can be edited to send you emails. editing the crontab with the cron job is a terrible idea, btwMeis2M wrote:what is cron?

cron.php is a psuedo-cron job file, in the main folder of the phpbb installation.
I see about the hosting problem, and I suppose the virtualization works well then, my bad
and centralizing it on another server is an awful idea, let's not even go there, we're adding new dependencies in 3.1 anyway
