Hello,

I am somewhat new to drupal and I am confused by how the cron job works and I would like someone to verify my understanding.

If I have a module and I implement the cron_hook, then when the cron job runs, it will execute my code in the hook correct?

Additionally, I think I am going to have a couple of different jobs that need to run at different time. I know I can schedule the cron through the cpanel interface with my hosting provider. I am confused to know how the different hooks will run at the appropriate times.

thanks,
G

You can search for modulename_cron to see what happens when cron.php is called. Running different things at different times may be tricky. Can you give an example?
