Short of a cron job, need a recurring event to schedule db maintenance

    I need to perform regular maintenance (once a day or so) on my database. I do not want users to set up a cron job to do this, so what would be a suitable wp or buddypress “event” (or hook) that would give me a reasonable frequence of occurring, without it occurring every time each user clicks on anything.

    I suppose it would be something happening when the admin logs into the back-end or something once a day type of thing.

    Any ideas?

    Could you not just use a high traffic event and put some basic logic around it?

    Perhaps a check to see if a given timestamp has passed? You could create a simple db table and add the timestamp as a “flag” updating it when the criteria is met and the action completed, thus re-setting the task schedule for the next time-stamped period.

    I found a great plugin in the repsitory wp-dbmanager.2.50, seems to do everything you would want with your database

    wp-cron functions would do it! Thanks for your suggestions!
