I'm not sure if the batch process that is built into core can be used with cron but you can try that <a href="http://api.drupal.org/api/group/batch/6">http://api.drupal.org/api/group/batch/6</a>.<br><br>Cheers,<br>Neil<br>

No. If the amount of work being done in hook_cron is enough to cause PHP to time out, you should probably break it up into smaller chunks and look at the Job Queue module (essentially create a list of things to do and have cron run a few items from that list on each cron run)<br>
<br>
Hope that helps!<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
in a custom module I've implemented hook_cron, but after a call to cron.php I get in watchdog a message about cron timeout. Need I to use register_shutdown_function ?<br>
Thank you.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Luca<br>
