Sunday morning backup at 8 PM:

• Weekday = 7,
• Hour = 20,
• Minute = 00, (note that if you leave Minutes empty, a backup will be triggered every minutes between 8 PM and 9 PM!)
• Leave other values empty

Cron status: pending, running, disabled.

The default status for a Cron is "pending". When a Cron is triggered, its status switch to "running" until the task is finished. A Cron in status "running" will NOT be executed to avoid overload of simultaneous processes.

 

Cron types: url, nql, phpclass or shell.

• A cron of type url is an internet adress to be called in orded to execute the scheduled task. If the url is not absolute (does not begin with 'http://'), it will be executed relative to the sushee root directory.
• A cron of type nql is a set of NQL commands to execute on the Officity where the cron was programmed.
• A cron of type shell is a unix shell command to execute.
• A cron of type phpclass will call a specific method of a PHP class/object. CLASSFILE is the path to the file defining the object (e.g. /Public/myobject.class.php ), CLASSNAME is the name of the object and METHOD is the name of the method to call.

 

Whether the cron is url, nql or shell, the command itself is encoded in the COMMAND field.

 

Other fields

The DOMAIN, DENOMINATION and NOTES fields are purely indicative fields, they are only there for the developer's purpose, to classify and annotate its crones.
