Is it possible to run drush cron over a single module, something similar to "drush cron my_module"?

You can do

drush php-eval 'my_module_cron();'

and it should run.

  • What is my_module_cron(); in this context?

  • @Randell If would be the custom hook_cron() that you have defined in my_module.

  • Thanks @MPD! Can I replace it with 'some_nonhook_function()' if I'm using Elysia cron?

  • @Randell You can use php-eval to call / execute anything. I do it all the time to test things.

  • Note though that whatever function you call may not have the proper variables in scope if it's not a cron function. I think hook_cron() implementations, on the other hand, should be self-contained. Dec 8, 2016 at 18:23

If you install the contrib project Ultimate Cron, you get extra Drush commands including:

drush cron:run my_module

which allows you to run a cron for a specific module.

You can implement your own drush commands. Have look at the sandwich example code in the drush source package.

I think you can just use,

drush cron module_name

    Can you confirm which version of drush this works in? I just looked at core.drush.inc in the version from PEAR, and I am not seeing arguments for that command.

    It doesn't work with an argument module_name. Sep 19, 2013 at 14:06
