Elegant, seamless and smart. The best kind of mod. :)

It depends on the size of your site, and the specific cron that's running at the time...

I have quite a few cron jobs scheduled, one being a nightly backup, and when those kick in, I can tell the site feels sluggish when loading pages. This mod fixes that.

would this be possible to utilize a cron task to repair databases and restart the mysql service?

nightly backup for a accounts on my server? is this really possible with ajax? would you mind telling me more on how you have that working?

To clarify, it's possible with cron... this mod though initiates those (cron) sheduled tasks via an asyncronous AJAX call, allowing them to run in the background.

As far as how to get the nightly backup cron going in the first place, there are quite a few solutions... search and read and pick the one you like best... here are a few I've seen:

Wouldn't simpler method be to have window.stop at the bottom of your footer and then have ignore_user_abort(true); in the PHP file? For MSIE you could just evoke the escape key (27)

This will (in theory) effectively stop the page from continuing to load, but the php script will ignore the request and continue processing until it has finished.

Just an idea.

Ok this mod doesnt work on 3.6.5. Any more support for this mod? I have followed all instructions but the scheduled tasks are not running...:)

It works without any problem in 3.6.5

Hmm I followed all the instructions. Funny thing is the original cron seems to be still working. Schedueld tasks runs when i load the forum page, but does not run when its not loaded. Any thoughts about something i am missing?

I uploaded the files to my forum directory, that is correct no?
