cron jobs

Post by kimtieuphuong »

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.

I don't really understand the question. Since 3.1 you can set up a typical Cron job to run system tasks instead of the standard way of running them. Either method works fine and almost identically.
