RE: [Phpgroupware-developers] async service question

[Brian Johnson]

I think it is supposed to be the timestamp of the last run.  The async cronjob
runs the same for all users and runs a php script that uses the phpgw_async
table to see what it should do (all user's async entries are stored in this
one table I think)

I should re-state, that I have not been able to get the async services to run
reliably and took a look at the code which was hard for me to follow due to
the way it locks the table to make sure two runs do not happen at the same
time.

I think it uses the '##last-check-run##' to determine if the last run finished
successfully before it starts another run.  Maybe you could use a similar
concept?

I would really like to use the features provided by this sytem to the calendar
app, but I could use help in getting it to be reliable.  The developer who
wrote it is no longer maintaining it.
