Set LazyCron to operate at specified times

[MarkE]

LazyCron operates on an elapsed time interval, but you may want it to operate at specified times.

Assuming your website is going to be visited sufficiently frequently (either by real users or by a Cron job), you can do this by editing the file /assets/cache/LazyCron.cache. This file contains 21 timestamps – one for each of the LazyCron specified intervals (e.g. “everyMinute”). The timestamp denotes when that interval was last triggered. To make the trigger happen at the required time, change the timestamp in the matching row to be when the previous trigger should have occurred.

To make this easier, I have done an Excel spreadsheet (“Lazycron_fill.xlsx”) to simplify the process – just enter the required benchmark timings and copy the result into the LazyCron.cache file.

Thank you so much!
I was quite confused by the behavior of LazyCron and the content of LazyCron.cache, this helped me a lot :)
