I've been looking for a solution for this for quite some time now. Drupal Roles are synced through the 'sync when membership is updated' option. (it was the better choice in comparison with logout/log in) This works pretty fine for 70-80% of the time, but sometimes it doesn't. Maybe because some members don't complete their payment in the same session or something like that, so I want to create a script that the manual sync is activated every hour or so, just to be sure.

Is there any way to realize this? The manual sync apparently isn't a script that you can activate by cron, it's a form. How can you activate this automatically? Via a simple wget that runs the URL for example? I just want to find a way that the sync is run every hour automatically.

Every kind of help would be appreciated!

Thanks for your answer. So I have to edit this page/form from Drupal itself? I don't think I'm capable in doing that. Are there no alternatives to trigger manual sync?

Unfortunately, I can't write Shell scripts... Is it really that difficult? Because all it has to do, is activating the manual sync form, like pressing a button. If anyone has another solution, I would be very grateful. Also, I think many people would benefit from this help cause I'm convinced I'm not the only one with this issue.
