Problem:

How does the software keep information up to date? Is there no cron routine that needs to be set up?

---

Solution:

The software attempts to update any information that needs to be updated when at least one user is browsing the site. For example, if an ad is set to expire at a time that is already passed it does not need to wait for the next time a cron routine runs. It will do this as soon as the next person browses the site. This allows for the absolute most up to date information at any given time for any given user.

So, there is no need for any cron routines.

However, cron routines can be used to replace the behavior described above, on Geo Enterprise editions 3.1 and above. If you run a high traffic site running one of the Enterprise editions, we recommend doing this, see the user manual for more information.
