Bug - hourly cron job intervals make hourly cron fail (planned for r60)

Hi

I have just noticed that the hourly cron is not executed regularly: As soon as it’s executed with a delay the job of the next period (hour / day) fails. Could you add some timing buffer, so that it only checks the last 50 minutes for example?

Yes , we are aware of this and so far this has not been a mayor issue (well, is annoying of course) as that cron only handled email flushing but now it does other things (dashboards, account reviews, etc) and so it is becoming a problem.

The solution is not changing the config on the linux box but instead checking if the previous job finished or not (it does some locking so we know that).

I would call this a bug rather than a question…internal reference: https://github.com/eramba/eramba_v2/issues/1305

I’ll chat with our devs tomorrow and let you know

Thanks Fabian

We just fixed this, it will let up to 10 minutes of hourly cron (which is far more than it should run), we’ll package this tomorrow and make a release.

Thanks Fabian!

I admit it’s a rather small point. But thanks for responding this fast!
