Poormanscron

·
Uwe Hermann - September 28, 2003 - 16:45

A module which runs the Drupal cron operations without needing the cron application.

For every page view, this module checks to see if the last cron run was more than 1 hour ago (this period is configurable). If so, the cron hooks are executed, and Drupal is happy. These cron hooks fire after all HTML is returned to the browser, so the user who kicks off the cron jobs should not notice any delay.

Poormanscron 6.x-2.0

This new version is intended to be a backport of the automatic cron-running functionality in Drupal 7 (#331611: Add a poormanscron-like feature to core). This module also includes the performance improvements of #566494: Cron image does a full bootstrap on every page request (including cached ones) and only runs through an AJAX callback that is triggered via JavaScript only when necessary. This verison will be completely compatible with Drupal 7 core, so when you upgrade, you will no longer need to use this module.
