SuperCron

for non-technical users, the Drupal cron is a content scheduler.

Installation:

Unpack in your modules folder (usually '/sites/all/modules/')
Enable under Administer > Site Building > Modules

Features:

• See the list of all Cron hooks found in the enabled modules
• Change the order in which cron hooks are called
• Disable certain hooks
• Run the tasks you choose in parallel, so that cron tasks will be executed all at once rather than one after the other
• Identify the exceptions raised by individual hooks
• Call hooks individually on demand (great for identifying problems)
• Keep executing cron hooks that follow an exception, limiting the damage to only one module
• Measure the time it takes for a cron hook to execute (we display the last call timings and the average timings)
• Capture any output generated by the hooks
• Change the way Cron behaves when the site is under load (this optional feature requires Throttle to be enabled)
• Limit the IP addresses that may be allowed to call your cron scripts

Requirements:

• Drupal 6.x
