Scheduling a report to be emailed once a week
August 09, 2014, 01:44:22 pm
I assured my user that a report could be emailed to her once a week without her lifting a finger... ;D  Well, I guess that was over confidence now that I try to set it up.  I am presently running all background jobs via the scheduled jobs UI, so 'Mail Reports' is one of those tasks.  But I want it run once a week!  So I created a separate cron job that ran the report once a week with "job=Mail_Report_51" added to the end of the command line.  This worked... but...I guess I am misunderstanding the way it works because of course the  scheduled job UI for mail reports will still run (so the user will get the report every time cron runs/hourly/daily).  Which is not wanted obviously.
Is it possible to have one task run separately and (obviously) at a different frequency from the tasks in the scheduled jobs UI?
Or do I now have to set up all tasks to run as separate cron tasks.  In other words, you either use the scheduled jobs UI or you run everything separately?

I'm curious about this too. Did you ever figure out how to do it?

Thanks,

Hi Joseph

No, I didn't figure this out & no-one replied.  I'm at Civicon this coming week & will see if I can pin somebody down about this.  If I get an answer I'll post it, of course.

I believe you are correct, you either need to trigger them all in one shot or each separately.  The one thing I'm not sure about and you might want to try/check on is what happens if you disable the Mail Report job in the scheduled jobs settings and then run the job specific Cron.  If the job specific Cron overrides the settings in Civi then you will be all set.
