cron jobs

[richo2007]

I do not like much to have my cron file filled with jobs, especially if I want some other task to be scheduled using crontab.

I also think that for the installer and web based administration of tasks would be easier to have full control of the scheduled programs.

In that regard I think that the perl module Schedule::Cron could be a good option to manage all the vicidial related scripts without a crowded crontab.

We are actually planning on moving most of the separate crontab jobs under the ADMIN_keepalive_ALL.pl script as we have been moving more under there as new scheduled tasks are added. We are also considering storing the times/intervals in database fields that you will be able to edit in the admin.php interface.

These changes will not come until after the next release, but it is something we are planning on.
