And this is done! There’s now a cron service running on Port87. Wow, why was that so much harder than I thought it would be?
(The answer is that when I’m deleting a user’s email without them pressing a “delete” button, I want to be 100% sure I’m doing it right.)

I originally wrote the cron job code way back during Port87’s beta. A lot has changed since then, so it basically needed to be completely rewritten. Certain maintenance things I’ve just been doing manually once in a while, but now those are handled by the cron job. :)

@hperrin@port87.social Back in the day I ran a cron job in an e-mail that didn't identify itself as such to my colleagues in my department to protect a resource every 2 hours on a day that I was away at a professional conference. My inbox the next morning was something else.
