Installation and setup

Check the version control for instructions on how to clone the repository, be sure to select the relevant branch to work from, from the dropdown.

* For Drupal 7 checkout the 7.x-1.x branch
* For Drupal 6 checkout the 6.x-1.x branch

Once you have cloned the repo, copy the module files to <your drupal site>/sites/all/modules/custom/
enable the module with
drush en -y cron_last

and access the cron status at http://<your_drupal_domain>/cron/last

By default this module will check if cron has run within the last 900 seconds (15 minutes).
You can override this threshold by setting the cron_last_sec_threshold drupal variable

eg.

drush vset -y cron_last_sec_threshold 1800
