cronplus.module		CronPlus adds more "cron" hooks to Drupal beyond the
			basic one, with each of the new hooks being called at or near
      specified time intervals (on demand, hourly, daily,	weekly,
      monthly, and yearly).

License:		GNU General Public License (GPL) http://gnu.org/

Status:			BETA -- Believed stable, but use with caution.

Prerequisites:		You must have cron.php being invoked at intervals on
			your system. CronPlus is believed to be compatible
			with Poor Man's Cron (a contributed module), but this
			has not been specifically tested.

			This version works with Drupal 7.x. Older versions
			are available for Drupal 4, 5, and 6.

Features:

* Adds on demand, hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly cron hooks
  to any Drupal module.

* Implementation of the hooks is totally optional; existing modules that
  do not use CronPlus will simply be ignored by this module.

* Administrative preferences allow advisory settings for the preferred
  time of day, day of week, and month on which the longer-period jobs
  should be invoked.

* Modules receive parameters indicating how long it has been since the
  last time each given hook was invoked, and may use these parameters as
  they wish.

* The administrative settings menu also offers a "status report" page that
  shows what modules are using each of the API hooks, and when each hook
  was last invoked.
