it would be cool if we could get a cron file we can call on to run the scheduled tasks,it would be helpful for forums that dont get enough traffic to trigger the jobs automatically.
I can see the use for that ... like triggering mail queue etc.
Spider crawling should trigger those scheduled tasks, but with limited traffic comes limited crawling as well.
Should be as simple as setting a script that an offical cron task calls ... let me check if there is already an easy entry point.
