splash preventing cron.php from working properly

I'm not sure if it's the Drupal way, but here's a fix:

59c59
<
---
>
75c75,78
<
---
>
> } elseif ($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] == '/cron.php') {
> $splash = FALSE;
>

Before I commit this, I'd like to get a better understanding of what's going on. It doesn't seem like Drupal should be returning the splash page at all for cron.php. Exactly what settings do you have on each of the tabs?

A work around here is to call cron with ?splash=off and it works fine:

0 * * * * wget -O - -q -t 1 http://examplesite.com/cron.php?splash=off

Ah! Good call, thanks! I guess we'll need to add that to the documentation.

It wasn't working properly and my patch fixed it. I didn't set up splash on the site where cron wasn't working anymore.

cron calls drupal (and splash) with wget, and so the splash page gets returned (as it has never run on the wget 'browser' before), the actual cron page is working fine

Here's what we have in crontab: 35 * * * * www-data /usr/bin/wget -O - -q http://example.com/cron.php
When I tried it from the command-line wget was just fetching the splash page.

Thanks for the great module.

guaka, if you undo your patch and change your cron to this, it should work just fine:

35 * * * * www-data /usr/bin/wget -O - -q http://examplesite.com/cron.php?splash=off
