Add $cron_run global set to TRUE during cron runs for modules/developers

Created on 27 November 2012, over 12 years ago

Developers need to be able to determine whether their code is being run by a user or during cron. Potential use cases are error logging/notification, node access permissions, calculation iterations, and probably many more. Here is a specific need in Domain Access: #1851400: Node grants are incorrect during cron runs potentially causing a fatal exception in Entity->save() β†’ .

This patch creates a global in bootstrap.inc, then sets it to TRUE during the cron runs.

    Thank you for sharing your idea for improving Drupal.

    We are working to decide if this proposal meets the Criteria for evaluating proposed changes. There hasn't been any discussion here for over 8 years which suggests that this has either been implemented or there is no community support. Your thoughts on this will allow a decision to be made.

    Since we need more information to move forward with this issue, the status is now Postponed (maintainer needs more info). If we don't receive additional information to help with the issue, it may be closed after three months.

    Thanks!

    Since there's been no follow up in 3+ months going to close this one out, but if still a desired feature please re-open. This one will need a summary update.

    Thanks!
