function execute background

  • Hi Everyone,
    I’m create a plugin to get woocommerrce data to external system. but it take lot of time to execute also serve show 502 error after i used cron function to execute that function but it not working properly

    add_action('wpse71941_cron', 'wpse71941_long_running');
function wpse71941_long_running($args)
{
    
    // might need to call <code>set_time_limit</code> here
    set_time_limit(0);

    include 'customers.php';
        include 'orders.php';
        include 'products.php';

    // return normal time limit
    if($l = ini_get('max_execution_time'))
        set_time_limit($l);
}

// schedule the event for right now
wp_schedule_single_event(
    time(), 
    'wpse71941_cron', 
    array('args' => 'for', 'callback' => 'function')
);

  • Cron’s purpose is re-running commands at certain intervals. If you want to run code only once and only in a specific scenario within wordpress, that’s a sign you should actually be looking for a hook.

    To run a function only once after activation of a specific plugin of yours, you probably want to use the ‘register_activation’ hook within that plugin:

    If it’s not your plugin and you can’t/shouldn’t just add code to it, this either doesn’t apply or there’s another hook for that.
