Moodle Cron Ver 1.01 24/8/2004
by Peter Honan

A True Win32 service application to execute website fetches necessary for the Moodle Cron jobs.

GPL Licensed and free for use by Moodle users, the source is available for Delphi 7 if you want it. 
See Licence.txt for more info and disclaimers.


INSTALLATION
============

Firstly, note that you NEED to have Administrative rights on the computer to install this software.

1) Copy the whole "Moodle Cron" folder to any permanent location on your system. 
   It does not need to be on the same machine as your Moodle server but it might as well be.

2) Run "INSTALL.bat" to configure, install and start your service!  :-)

3) If you need to change a setting, uninstall it then reinstall it.


UNINSTALLATION
==============

1) Run "UNINSTALL.bat" from the Moodle Cron folder.  It will stop the service
   immediately and then run an application that will allow you to remove
   the service completely.

2) You want to "Remove a service" so choose that option.

3) Choose the machine, usually "Local machine".

4) Choose "Moodle Cron" from the list of services and then "Next" to finish.



INFORMATION FOR ADVANCED USERS
==============================

If you use regedit to change any of these values you will need to restart the service 
to refresh the values.
