Cron_Scripts

Cron scripts /cron has files designed to be run as cron jobs

cron_fetcher.php is for feed syndication from other boards cron_import.php is for fetching API kill logs from CCP cron_cache.php updates other API information from CCP cron_clearup.php removes old files from the cache directory. cron_fetcher.php should be run no more than once per hour. It can generate excessive load on both your killboard and the remote killboard.

cron_import.php should be run no more than once per hour. CCP updates the API kill log once per hour so there is no point in checking more often.

cron_cache.php should be run once per day.

cron_clearup.php should be run once per day. It may be run more or less often with no ill effect but benefits of doing so are minor at best.

Setting up a scheduled job The details of scheduling a script to run automatically will vary between hosts. Check with your host for information.

If your host does not provide the tools to schedule jobs then the ajcron mod can be used.
