Customer Service Reporting

Have not found the file freepbx-cron-scheduler.php yet - but, it may be able to help us overcome the inability to write to the cron job file with a module installer.

The "standard entry" in this table looks like this (with column headers shown)

module             id       time     freq     lasttime     command
module_admin     UPDATES     20     24     1241137802     /var/lib/asterisk/bin/module_admin listonline

This talks about the function briefly.

And contains this info:

It wakes up hourly and works with cronmanager
- have retrieve_conf check if freepbx-cron-scheduler.php is running and start it if not.
- the cron job is run hourly, at a random minute setting per install. In conjunction with the online update checker choosing a random hour to run, the combo will distribute hits to the server.

I had to add specification for the day of the week that users want the cron to run because the built in cronmanager in FreePBX is designed to run scripts once a day or more often. Because we only want this to run once a week, I had to limit filter the script running based on the day of the week. I am allowing the user to specify the day, though Sunday will be the best day usually.
