  A feature that I think Zikula could really do with is an integarted CRON tool. A single point where timed operations could be programmed. To this end I am thinking of writing a CRON module. It would be made up of two parts;
  
  One part would be a pncronapi folder. The CRON module would run the "main" API function for each installed module. If this function existed, it would do timed processes for that module.
  
  The second part would be an admin interface that you could add API calls to. This list of calls would be executed when the "cron.cron.main" API function was called.
  
  Then a server CRON would be created to run "index.php?module=cron"
  
  As a later version, maybe some restrictions to ensure when a CRON segment is actioned. Or a psueudo CRON as a hook on systeminit (ie. Runs every 100 page views)?
  
  I am looking for comments or feedback....?

  I have some code almost ready for Zikula 1.2, a complete task scheduling API which will also perform pseudo cron.
