$Id: README.txt,v 1.4.4.2.2.1 2009-12-24 20:50:03 davereid Exp $ Description ----------- Poormanscron is a module which runs the Drupal cron operations without needing the cron application. The module inserts a small amount of JavaScript on each page of your site that when a certain amount of time has passed since the last cron run, calls an AJAX request to run the cron tasks. Your users should not notice any kind of delay or disruption when viewing your site. This is a Drupal 5 backport of the simple Poormanscron feature that was added to Drupal 7 (http://drupal.org/node/331611). Installation ------------ Read http://drupal.org/getting-started/install-contrib on how to download and install Drupal modules. The typical location for the module's files is sites/all/modules/poormanscron in the Drupal directory. Once the module is enabled, you can configure the module at: Administer > Site configuration > Site information Authors ------- * Moshe Weitzman - original author * Uwe Hermann - current maintainer * Rob Loach - co-maintainer * Dave Reid - co-maintainer
