Implementation of hook_cron()

We only want to check every few days that cron runs. Check with getflightpath.com, and, if updates are available, store that information in our variables table.

The update status module file.

Code

function update_status_cron() {

  $check_if_older_than = strtotime("-7 DAY");
  // When was the last time we ran this check?
  // (we only want to run once every few days)
  $last_run = variable_get("update_status_last_run", 0);
  if ($last_run > $check_if_older_than) {
    // We have run this recently, harmlessly return
    // Comment out to have this run every time (good for development)
    return;
  }

  // If we are here, it means we should run our check.
  update_status_perform_check();
