          Translations can be contributed back to PKP for distribution with future
          releases of OJS.
          
          
Server requirements for full Unicode (UTF-8) support:
          
          
	* MySQL >= 4.1.1 or PostgreSQL >= 7.1
          	* PHP >= 4.3.0 compiled with support for the mbstring library
          
          

          
Scheduled Tasks
          ---------------
          OJS supports a mechanism to execute a variety of tasks at scheduled times
          (such as automatic sending of reminder notification emails).
          
          
To enable support for using scheduled tasks, edit your config.inc.php and
          set the scheduled_tasks setting to On, and set up your operating system to
          periodically execute (as the same user your webserver is running under) the
          PHP script found at tools/runScheduledTasks.php in your OJS directory:
          
          
On *nix operating systems, this can be done by adding a simple cron task:

Done (looong time ago ), but the document only talk about this call:

$ php /path/to/ojs2/tools/runScheduledTasks.php

And as far as I know, it won’t be enough if you want to run statistics, DOI autoregistration, etc.

For instance, I run this hourly for each of my journals:

$ php tools/runScheduledTasks.php 
$ php tools/runScheduledTasks.php plugins/generic/usageStats/scheduledTasksAutoStage.xml
$ php tools/runScheduledTasks.php plugins/importexport/crossref/scheduledTasks.xml

But I don’t know what if other modules need a specific call or the first call will do the job.

Cheers,
