Cron jobs... Does anyone use a "maintenance" script?

[eluser]tomdelonge[/eluser]
Does anyone ever have one script to be executed so often on the server that just does basic maintenance. Like having a queue of emails to send and sending a few every few minutes. Or other things like that... You know what I mean?

I think the session class has something built in that executes avery time it is loaded to clear expired data in the database if that db for sessions is activated.

[eluser]tomdelonge[/eluser]
Yeah that's the built in garbage collection. But that takes the user's time (that's why it only executes sometimes). I don't want something that bothers the users.

yeah, we use this cronjob script to execute several scripts. Works like a charm.

One of our script just runs once a day, another once every hour.

The best part is that you can take advantage of CI:-)
