This happen to both v6 and v7

Hello
we have been rewriting the "cron" because especially long running jobs created massive problems.

the module will show up soon in

https://code.launchpad.net/~c2c/c2c-rd-addons/6.1/timed_job
https://code.launchpad.net/~c2c/c2c-rd-addons/7.0/timed_job

and will be moved than to a community repository

I think perhaps Ferdinand is trying to say that maybe your cron task itself runs longer than the scheduled interval ?

In such cases the cron pauses the other cron tasks until the current tasks cron was doing are done. I mean that it will not even check for cron tasks to run while an active cron is still running.

Hi Ferdinand,

Thanks a lot for keeping me updated with the news.

@Niels,

What I put in the cron task is just a simple "select" query, i have debug the code and it will take less than 0.1 sec to go through.
So I suspect there might be something wrong with the cron module that make the interval to be 1 day instead of 1 min.

Thanks Ferdinand @ Camptocamp, that solved my question.
