WP's pseudo-cron

[Bofu2U]

Anyone used this successfully? I've installed WP via Fantastico and I'm not positive that the pseudo-cron is working.

The actual cron has no calls to any of the scripts within the user's files as well.

Any tips on how to test if it's working, as well as make sure it's being executed at regular intervals?

I tried Google and went through about 200 pages of WP support/forum pages, just aggravating me

Thanks all.

Timing is everything: scheduling in WordPress - Development on a Shoestring

WordPress 2.1 brought with it a number of new features, one of which is a pseudo-cron scheduling framework. This has been is the pipes for some time now, Scott Merrill developed a plugin called wp-cron back in 2005. After the 2.0 release of WordPress, there was a discussion on the wp-hackers mailing list about getting a cron-type scheduling feature into the core of WordPress and the functionality that was released with 2.1 started to take shape.

I actually spoke to the writer of wp-cron and he helped me out.
