Admin Tools Professional
also offers you several tools
that you can perform on a regular basis.
You will find it as the final icon
in the Tools section called Scheduling.
When you select this it will open
a new window to the Scheduling plugin.
Here you will see the various options
that you can set.
As you can see by hovering over
the description
we get further information
about the individual tool.
For example the
Enable Session Optimiser
ensures that the session tables
will be periodically optimised.
To enable that simply select
from No to Yes
and you can set how often
this is to be performed
In this case the default setting
, the recommended setting,
is 60 minutes.
I suggest that you enable the
Session Optimiser
the Session Cleaner
and the Cache Cleaner.
In addition you may choose
to select the Temporary
directory cleaner.
When you install a new extension
sometimes parts are left behind
in the temporary directory
so it's useful to ensure that this
is set to be cleaned as well.
The next option is to delete
inactive users.
By default the user is set never
to be deleted
but you could choose
to delete them if they haven't
activated their accounts
if they activated it but
never logged in
or whether its activated or not
as long as they haven't logged in.
On many web sites that I operate
I fid that people register
but never activate their accounts
in which case I can select this option
and then after 7 days
those user accounts will be deleted.
The final option that can be performed
is to truncate
the security exception log entries.
I recommend that you probably
leave this to zero
which means that it is disabled.
However if your security
exceptions log becomes too big
you can choose to reduce this
by setting a value here
to ensure that only that number
of entires are kept.
If I set it to 100 for example
then only the last 100 exceptions
are stored in the logs.
When you have set and configured all
the options as you wish to have them and
ensured that the status of the plugin
is enabled
click Save & Close
and those tasks will now be performed
on a regular basis.
