Scheduled Task - Run Every 5 Seconds

[Mko]

I see! Thanks for the information.

As a follow-up question...
I have a custom bridge I developed with vB. Since both you reminded me how a user needs to be viewing the forum in order for Scheduled Tasks to execute, I decided to generate $cronimage in my site-wide header (not present on my directory with my vBulletin files) so that Scheduled Tasks hopefully would execute even if nobody is viewing the Forum Index.

Here is what I included (community/ is the directory where I have my vBulletin):

PHP Code:

        if ($vbulletin->cron <= TIMENOW)
        {
            $cronimage = '<img src="' . create_full_url('community/cron.php?' . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl'] . 'rand=' .  TIMENOW) . '" alt="" width="0" height="0" border="0" style="display: none;" />';
        }
        else
        {
            $cronimage = '';
        }
        echo $cronimage; 


It outputs correctly, but I just want to double check that this is the proper way of "inducing" Scheduled Tasks to run from an external page.

Thanks again!
