     1 = Cron Task Scheduler Integration =     2      3 The periods defined by recurring events are not all recorded in a user's     4 free/busy collection if such events recur indefinitely. Instead, only the     5 periods within a certain window of time are recorded for such events. As a     6 consequence, free/busy collections need to be progressively expanded over     7 time to include periods that were ignored when previously recording     8 free/busy information for an event.     9     10 The `conf/cron/cron.daily/imip-agent` file contains commands that update    11 free/busy collections for all known users, and this should be copied to the    12 appropriate destination. For example:    13     14 {{{    15 cp conf/cron/cron.daily/imip-agent /etc/cron.daily/    16 }}}    17     18 Where frequency-specific directories are not supported by cron on a system, a    19 `crontab` entry of the appropriate format is required instead.    20     21 See the [[../EventRecurrences|guide to event recurrences]] for more information    22 on how recurring events are supported.    23     24 Responsibility for generating free/busy expansions lies with the    25 `tools/make_freebusy.py` program, which is a general tool that can also    26 reset the free/busy records defined for a user or those made available to a    27 user.
