User Cron script-configuration
Generally there is no need to edit the Cron script! However there is a user configuration section where you can disable logging or change the basic tick rate.
Open file: UniServer\uni_con\cron\run_cron.vbs
Locate this section:
'*** User configuration ******************************************************* logging = true 'true = Enable logging false = disable logging cron_time = 60 'Set cron time (tick) in seconds. Default 60=1 Min cron_loop = cron_time 'Set equal allows immediate first time run '*************************************************** End User configuration ***
Changing cron_time also changes the resolution time. Sixty seconds is a good compromise and ideal for testing scripts and running a production server.
Test Scripts
Three test files have been included and pre-configured in Cron’s configuration file. Each is a simple command-line script creating a text file when run.
