Frequent and infrequent cron jobs

Hi,

Can somebody explain to me how frequent and infrequent cronjob (terminology used in settings/cronjob.ini) are supposed to work, and whether or not they are implemented= It seems to me that the scripts used under neither the frequent nor the infrequent block are run when the runcronjobs.php script is run.

Thanks in advance. :)

Sincerely,

Hi Eirik

This page http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/3_8/features/cronjobs/configuring_cronjobs
explains it quite well.

In short:
If you run

php runcronjobs.php -s siteaccessname

The scripts under the [CronjobSettings] block are run.

If you run

php runcronjobs.php infrequent -s siteaccessname

The scripts under the [CronjobPart-infrequent] block are run (similar for frequent).

Thanks, Claudia. Strangely, a search for frequent didn't return anything, so I thought there wasn't any info about it. :)
