After installing 6x2x, and moving supercron.php to the Drupal root, a lot of strange things happen:

- supercon menu's disappear and reappear on crons/clearing caches; e.g. admin/settings/supercron/invocation is suddenly not available, supercron not found in any admin menu

- Trying to run supercron.php: Call to undefined function supercron_invoke_one() indicates the supercron module cant be found suddenly. Eventhough the modules is active in the build/modules list.

- Uninstalling / reinstalling brings supercron back to life.

- After a short while, minutes, the same thing starts over: supercron is suddenly wiped form the admin menus, cron cant run anymore.

- Once it comes back to life after uninstall/reinstall, I can't save the setting "Execute with every cron call" under admin/settings/supercron

- When I save settings at admin/settings/supercron, it also resets my settings at settings/supercron/invocation (selecting root location)

- As a concequence, the message keeps saying The supercron.php file should be copied from the C:/Inetpub/wwwroot/domain.com/sites/all/modules/contrib/supercron directory to C:/Inetpub/wwwroot/domain.com/; until that is done, your cron-driven tasks will not execute when scheduled to.

...even though I already moved it there!

- Finally, it keeps saying There are currently no cron-supporting modules enabled on this site.,

... but core system and update have cron, and loads of others.

This will take some time ;-)

Title: Many strange issues in 6x2x-dev » Cannot save settings, settings wiped on save

One fix for two problems:

1. add this: module_load_include('inc', 'supercron', 'supercron-main');
in supercron.php before: supercron_invoke_one($module, FALSE, $multithread);

2. add this: module_load_include('inc', 'supercron', 'supercron-main');
in supercron.crontab-admin.php before: $exefound = TRUE;

--------

Cron-enabled modules are still not found (warning message), and settings on admin/settings/supercron cannot be saved. Trying to save wipes the settings at admin/settings/supercron/invocation

I added the two lines mentioned by morningtime, but I still can't see the menu and run supercron....

I switched to Elysia Cron, http://drupal.org/project/elysia_cron

It is amazingly stable and has similar features as supercron. Check it out.

@morningtime while Elysia Cron, nice as it is IMHO it does not come close to features of SuperCron.

However for the Stability I wholeheartedly agree, at SuperCron current state it is not a useable module, sadly.

Come and join us in getting a stable SuperCron out of the door
