Description
vacilendo #484240: Compatible with Poormanscron? was asking about the compatibility between Poormanscron and SuperCron (http://drupal.org/project/supercron); we are preparing a patch to help that happen.
#1
Subscribing
#2
Here's the patch that will let Poormanscron work with either Cron or SuperCron depending on the local set-up.
#3
nice, this solved persistent unsuccessfull cron runs via poormanscron...
supercron is one clever solution, it worked for unsuccessfull cron runs by rearranging and multithreading time consuming invokes (like search indexing).
#4
Ya know, SuperCron could make itself compatible with everything that uses drupal_cron_run by setting a super-low module weight and running other things from it's own hook_cron, then taking care of the shutdown stuff normally provided at the end of drupal_cron_run(). That way we wouldn't have to make everything else compatible with SuperCron. That way everything that uses the proper APIs will work with SuperCron.
#5
Not a bad idea; right now we are compatible with pretty much everything out there (as of this version), but I can see some marginal issues cropping up in the future. This would be an excellent solution. We'll look at it for 1.5.
jannalexx: check out our new SuperSearch module; it speeds up site indexing by 11 to 17 times (as measured on our sites), is themeable, works like a charm with SuperCron, and caches common search results for faster interactions. We just published the first alpha.
