MyBB Task Manager - How they really work? - blackdream - 2013-05-27
Hello,
I am just curius on how the task manager actually works in myBB. I mean is MyBB using a crontab to do that or just is simplier than it seems?
If i choose for example to run a task every min, it will run every min or i have to make a request to myBB forum to run it?
Hope you understand me
Thank you

It runs whenever a user requests the site at all and it's been scheduled to run. It's a very basic system.

I'm no expert on the subject but I think this is correct: An image exists in the footer of the page output that actually links to a script that runs scheduled tasks. So when anyone views a forum page the task queue is checked and if tasks are due they are processed.
I am sure if that is inaccurate someone will correct me.

Your explanation is far more thorough though Wildcard

Yes i understand. I saw the code only for 5 mins and since i didint find anything related to crontab i wanted to ask just to verify it.
Thank you guys. :-)

Sorry for bumping an older thread, but I want to add that each time task.php is executed (such as in the footer), it only tries to execute a single task.
