Automatic actions¶
Goals¶
Plugins may need to run automatic actions in background, or at regular interval. GLPI provides a task scheduler for itself and its plugins.
Implement an automatic action¶
A plugin must implement its automatic action the same way as GLPI does, except the method is located in a plugin’s itemtype. See crontasks.
Register an automatic action¶
A plugin must register its automatic action the same way as GLPI does in its upgrade process. See crontasks.
Unregister a task¶
GLPI unregisters tasks of a plugin when it cleans or uninstalls it.
