Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.This project is not covered by Drupal’s security advisory policy.
Synopsis
This project is for you if you want to programmatically run specific rules at a predefined time and / or interval. This is done by providing a new rules reaction event. When applied, the rule will be available as a new cron job for ultimate cron.
Using ultimate cron you can then set the desired time and or interval as usual.
Basic use case
- Run a rule at a specific time / interval (cron)
- Automate / seperate a single rule
- Distribute server-workload for rules that would otherwise all be invoked by the rules cron event
Requirements
This module requires rules and ultimate cron 2.0.
Roadmap
I have yet to find a way to log rules logging output to ultimate cron log. Priority isn't actually very high for this though at the moment.
Known problems
none yet.
Similar projects and how they are different
Though I have never used rules components with scheduler / trigger, I have the strong feeling that similar outcome can be achieved with those modules. (Please correct me in this point).
Using ultimate_cron_rules has, for me, the benefit to have all cron like functionalities combined in one place. Hope you like it.
Did I save you some time?
