Issue Summary
This is a really great module. The only issue I've found is in testing. It's hard to get my hooks to fire at their various intervals without setting my system clock so I was thinking it would be nice to have a "testing" checkbox in the configuration section so that when checked, all hook implementations fire every time cron.php is run. Currently, I have to run "delete from variable where name like '%cron%'" to get it to run. Just a thought..

That's a wonderful suggestion, and very easy to implement. I'll try go get this into the code soon.

I have just added this feature and committed a development release, pending beta testing.
I'm working with some new developer tools at my end, and I think I did everything right for the commit, but please be patient if not. I can't check the new release until drupal.org's next batch run.

Hi syscrusher,
I can't see this functionality in any release avaliable on Drupal.org - a testing facility to trigger any of the registered crong functions would be great to have!
Kind regards,
Shannon

I also had a need to run cronplus on demand. Since I'm not very good with PHP this is probably not the best way to do it but it works for what I needed it to do. I simply added an on demand call and then added that call in the module I needed it for.
Great work on the cronplus module. I don't know how to make a patch yet but I figured I would go ahead and post my file incase anyone else is interested in this ability.

Added an on demand option for testing cronplus along with some other minor tweaks including the capitalization of the menu items.
