If you want to process the queue outside of cron, and be able to stop it independent on cron, you have to return 'skip on cron' option as TRUE at hook_cron_queue_info.
This patch:

  • Adds a checkbox in the admin page. Previous text from above status description is mostly carried over to checkbox description.
  • Returns 'skip on cron' value on hook_cron_queue_info() accordingly.
  • Adds setting uninstall.

Queue processing defaults to happen on cron as previously if left unconfigured to preserve current behaviour.
Setting is named 'queue_mail_send_on_cron' to match UI. I just negate it in the hook_cron_queue_info().
