vijdev Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 1.What is the ideal maximum number of CRON jobs per hour that can be set in a shared hostin environment? 2.Most of these jobs will be summarizing several other database tables into a summary table, updating certain tables. expect the tables to contain several 1000 entries.May be I can hope to truncate some to check timestamp, and act on only the last 1 hr stuff... any views/points please?thanks!

steviewdr Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 How long is a piece of string? Is it a 386 computer or a Dual CPU server? If its a shared host, there may be limits regarding number of cronjobs. AFAIK there is no limit to the number of cronjobs you can run. -steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mchl Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 You can run cron jobs 3600 times per hour, but since each cron job can be just a batch file that triggers four billion scripts, there is no theoretical limit. Tha actual limit is how much your hosting service can handle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vijdev Posted May 13, 2010 Author Share Posted May 13, 2010 now, can this slow down user interface and experience, if same tables and DBs are accessed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mchl Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Of course it can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
