Understanding cron.php and the Automation Tool

Greetings,

It would appear that cron.php will "fetch" any feed URL setup in the Automation Tool. It also appears that it runs all feed import features as well.

Is there a way to have the cron.php in the Automation Tool ONLY "fetch" feeds and not import them?

Reason being is we use the import_slow.php feature and it is already setup on it's own CRON job.

Thank you!

Sure,

Use fetch.php to simply run Automation Tool jobs, but not import them....

cd /path/to/pricetapestry/scripts;/usr/bin/php fetch.php @ALL

Cheers,
David.
