 Hello,

 Some of us use Vtiger on shared linux hosting servers, most of the time
 with CPANEL but sometimes with other control panels.

 Vtiger works absolutely great in a shared hosting environment but the cron
 instructions in your wiki are completely confusing to those of us who
 don't have root or shell access to the servers our Vtiger installations
 are running on.

 1. The wiki page should list each php cron specifically, that needs to run
 and what it deals with.
 2. The wiki page should also be specific on how often each cron listed
 should run.

 The above alone will make it much more easier for those of us on shared
 hosting environments to know which files need to schedule to run, and how
 often they need to run.

 ------

 With all the advancements in PHP, we should have the option to use pre-
 made built in script level cron jobs to keep our vtiger installations
 running smoothly.

 Most populate scripts in other categories such as Vbulletin, extensions
 for joomla, etc have the ability to schedule tasks to run from within
 their control panel. You can even set how often certain tasks should run.

 Vtiger should really consider creating a scheduling system that emulates
 cron tasks from within the Vtiger administration.

 This feature can be optional, for those who heavily modified their vtiger
 installation and created custom cron jobs to run it.
