[quote=slowgary]I understand CRON, and one could always setup a CRON job to cURL a wolf plugin or other script. Was there not "CRON support" before? What has changed?[/quote]
You could indeed setup a cron job to curl a wolf plugin. The main difference here is that Wolf supporting Cron means you only have to setup [i]one[/i] Cron job.
Also, since plugins or the core is triggered to do their thing through the Observer system, you can log cron runs centrally. In future that can be expanded to log details, add security, whatever.
It also means you (as a plugin developer) don't have have to explain to the user how to setup cron and you can simply refer the administrator to Wolf's documentation.
