What is Web Cron?

This system may also be known as "CS Web Cron" or "cs-webcron".

NOTE: As of this writing, this portion is still theoretical and subject to change.

Web Cron is a web application that handles scheduled processes on multiple remote servers and the local webserver. This application contains several components:

The Application Server

This is the web-based interface that users view. See the Application Server page for more information.

The Daemon

This is the system that spawns processes and monitors them. See the Daemon page for more information.

The Process Manager

This is the lowest level of the system. See the Process Manager page for more information.
