[TYPO3-dev] scheduler script in TYPO3 4.3

[Cyrill Helg]

Hi there

I'm trying to setup and use the new scheduler in latest TYPO3 release and was 
looking for the documentation for an admin how to setup the cronjob. 
The question that came first to my mind was: What frequency should the main 
cronjob have? I mean if my server cronjob is run just every hour, how can 
TYPO3 execute task every 5mins? And more important will it notice that its not 
possible and inform the user?

Second thing: The script to execute needs an argument "scheduler", which in my 
opinion could give problems for a lot of users, because often the hosters cron 
configuration does allow to set a path to script only without arguments. So it 
might be better and more userfriendly if TYPO3 would come with a single script 
that just handles the scheduling things. (I know that its actually easy to 
create another script that calls cli_dispatch.phpsh scheduler, but thats not 
optimal and i'm having problems on one of my servers to set it up)


Maybe I should create a bug report for this? What do you think?
