The 2026 Drupal Business Survey is open. Your response will help shape the future of the Drupal business ecosystem.I've experienced an irritating issue. Sometimes i want to be more flexible with the cron settings.
When i try to set a longer rule like: '6,11,16,21,26,31,36,41,46,51,56 * * * *' it cannot be fit within the 32 characters limit of the rule column.

gotheric commentedI understand the problem and i'll think about enlarging the field.
However, consider enlarging the field in your database with a manual db operation. It's quite simple (if your familiar with SQL) and it will solve your problem...

n8nl commented'6-59/5 * * * *' is shorter and should do the same thing as '6,11,16,21,26,31,36,41,46,51,56 * * * *' - provided it's valid syntax for Elysia Cron (I haven't tested).

kala4ekWhy 256, is it maximum possible length for cron rule?
Also, need to update hook schema.
And please, re-creare patch (use
git diff).Comment #9

joelpittetI know the previous hooks were _1, _2, but shouldn't this really follow the API of hook_update_7200?
