Progress

Ultimate Cron supports an API for maintaining a progress throughout the cron jobs execution.

The launcher plugin is responsible for the progress logic. The Background Process launcher maintains its own progress in the background_process/progress tables. However, the Serial launcher can use different backends. By default the Serial launcher uses the database to store the progress. This can be changed by overriding which class to use for progress.

Currently only database and memcache is supported.

To use memcache instead of database, add the following to settings.php:

$conf['ultimate_cron_class_progress'] = 'UltimateCronProgressMemcache';
