# Varying data directory

This is used for storage of temporary data files such as those produced by [`/bin/runner.sh`](../bin/runner.sh) and must therefore be writable by the Dougal user.
Add tasks runner script. This script runs the deferred imports. It is meant to be called from a cronjob at regular intervals – every one or two minutes is probably a good setting. It checks if another instance is already running before doing its thing. If anything goes wrong (any of the called processes exits with non-zero condition) it will send an alert to GitLab, provided that the authorisation key is known. 2020-08-24 21:01:47 +02:00			`# Varying data directory`
