Elysia deletes the variable 'cron_semaphore' and it shouldn't. This is used by at least two other modules (FeedAPI, in feedapi.module, and ipaper, in ipaper.module). Due to elysia_cron deleting the semaphore, FeedAPI's cron job never runs and iPaper doesn't return the right content.

Modules have a legitimate expectation that 'cron_semaphore' will not be messed with by anyone but core, and that this will always be set during any cron operation, whether kicked off by Drupal cron or Elysia cron, and if anything that its absence implies that the cron operation should cease immediately.

You're right. Moving the deletion of cron_semaphore AFTER elysia cron process should solve the problem.

Commited the solution in CVS, i'll release a new version of elysia cron soon (with a D6 version too).

Thx

Is there a way to confirm that cron_semaphore is actually deleted on a windoes box?
I'm using version 6.x-1.2
