Title: SMF bug 4938 (attachment maintenance can fall foul of the security timeout)
Post by: Arantor on February 29th, 2012, 01:22 PM

There's not really a good solution for this one, as indicated, because the password's going to be needed every hour, and I don't think for something like that, that it is reasonable to expect them to type the password in every hour.

I'm thinking a CLI script might be a better way to deal with that, but would encourage discussion on the matter.

OK, so I was thinking about this earlier while out walking.

It occurred to me that it could be done by way of setting each stage to be carried out as a form of imperative scheduled task. That way it wouldn't necessarily require the admin to be present.

Needs more investigation.

I'm actually tempted to suggest that all hardcore maintenance should be CLI scripts, like they are in MediaWiki but most small admins won't have that as an option.
