[opencms-dev] How to make Chron?

[Eke, Kemi]

Hi Ivan

I've just made a CronJob recently and it works a treat.

First write your class, making it implement the I_CmsCronJob interface.
You must then implement the launch method, which is the method that is
executed by the system. (similar to main() in a normal class)thus:

 public String launch(CmsObject cmsObject, String param) throws
    MissingResourceException, CmsException
  { .... your code ...}

The param is a parameter coming from the Scheduled task Backoffice
interface, where you can enter the cron job timing details, thus

* * * * * yourpackage.Class param 
would run your job every minute of everyday with param being passed to the
class.

Hope that helps.  Also check
