Queue D6 backport sounds a good idea -

Never tested it, though.<br>

API works around the PHP timeout limitation by relying on a client
browser to iterate separate requests, each of which stays below the
time limitation.<br>
So yes, Batch API can only be used in a UI context, which excludes cron.<br>
<br>
For the same reason, it is not recommended to fire a batch processing
inside an API function, since you cannot ensure it will be executed in
a safe-for-batch context.<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
I'm reading contradicting posts about running Batch API processes on
cron. This is for Drupal 6 BTW.<br>
I have tried implementing a batch functionality that should be run on
cron, but it doesn't seem to process the work that needs to be done.<br>
I assume this is because running the cron through a commandline command
doesn't allow for javascript...<br>
<br>
So my questions:<br>
- Have I implemented Batch API incorrectly, and should it normally work
also on cron?<br>
- What is the best way to run a process that would normally trigger a
php script timeout? Can I use the Queue module for that?<br>
<br>
I'm sure plenty of people have already tried doing this, so I'm not
sure why I can find little consistent information about it.<br>
<br>
Thanks for your feedback.<br>
<br>
Sven<br>
