Project Portal uses the cron daemon to run background tasks such as sending notifications and messages, cleaning removed documents and generating indexes for text searches at specific times of the day or week.
$ crontab -l
The command outputs all periodical tasks that are scheduled to be run by the user issuing the command. Please note that this list may also contain other commands besides the Project Portal periodical commands. The list may look similar to the following.
27 5 * * 1-5 (cd "/home/kronodoc/pp2012/Kronodoc"/KRONO/bin; ./runbatch.sh daily) >/dev/null 2>&1 32 5 * * * (cd "/home/kronodoc/pp2012/Kronodoc"/KRONO/bin; ./runbatch.sh everyday) >/dev/null 2>&1 37 5 * * 1 (cd "/home/kronodoc/pp2012/Kronodoc"/KRONO/bin; ./runbatch.sh weekly) >/dev/null 2>&1 4,14,24,34,44,54 * * * * (cd "/home/kronodoc/pp2012/Kronodoc"/KRONO/bin; ./ntf-immediate-poll.pm) >/dev/null 2>&1
These tasks are scheduled automatically by the installation script. For this to be possible, cron services need to be installed and working for user with which Project Portal is run. If you encounter issues with scheduled operations, please consult your OS documentation and look at the runbatch.out log file.
