#76 Setting a specific time to run the mu-plugins script

Hello!

I want to ask for add an option to set a specific time to run the mu-plugins script.

Right now, on my server this is running at 1:14 PM. and it takes less than a minute to complete the process, but during these seconds the site becomes inaccessible. So I prefer to change this to run after midnight when there are no visitors.

Regards.

Hello thanks for your feedback @corzel

I think this touches on a bigger question of timing not just ss-install-wordpress-mu-plugins but really any ss core bash script since this issue could probably apply to any ss core cron jobs...

Really, I don't see how we could adjust the specific time of a certain cron job(s). It would get messy fast, as soon as we stray away from hardcoding the root crontab. It is the one file that truly should be 100% harcoded.

Perhaps a temporary solution would be changing the server timezone, e.g. SS_TIMEZONE option in ss-config... however I'd much rather figure out a way to avoid such outages.
