[Vtigercrm-developers] vtlib Vtiger_Cron

[Alan Lord]

Hi all,

I think I'd like to register a new cron Task for a custom module I'm 
working on.

I tried using the API in vtlib/Vtiger/Cron.php but the constructor is 
protected so I don't think I can really instantiate a new class in the 
same way as we do a module or a field.

Is there a reason why this has been done?

Of course I can write my cron task details straight into the database, 
but I was just interested why this was protected and not useful in the 
same way as the rest of the vtlib APIs.

Cheers and Happy New Year

Al
