Hudson: The butler for your cron jobs, too
For years, I used cron (sometimes anacron) without asking questions. The method was simple enough, and every project requiring cron-related capabilities documented the setup.
There is a much better way, and it involves Hudson. I introduced “Hudson for cron” as a sidebar at the Drupal Scalability and Performance Workshop a few weeks ago. To my surprise, several of the attendees remarked on their feedback questionnaires that it was one of the most valuable things they picked up that day. So, I’ve decided to write this up for everyone.
