#9016: Possibility to disable wp-cron
-----------------------------+----------------------------------------------
Reporter: erunafailaro | Owner: anonymous

Priority: normal | Milestone: 2.7.1
Component: General | Version:
Severity: normal | Keywords: wp-cron
-----------------------------+----------------------------------------------
Sometime when I edit an older page or article and save the changes,
spawn_cron() from /wp-includes/cron.php is invoked more than 200 times a
second for a few minutes and consequently also calls /wp-cron.php > 200
times.
Everytime when this happens, my server goes down to its knees and my
provider will take my host offline.
As my provider offers operating-system-cron-jobs, I would like to replace
wp-cron with an OS-cron-job that will invoke /wp-cron.php once a minute.
Could you please add an option to the wp-settings that will disable wp-
cron so that the file /wp-cron.php could be invoked by e.g. an OS-cronjob?
