8. Set up a cron job or scheduled task to run the poller once every 5-10
minutes to pick up the recent "public" postings of your friends. Example:
- cd /base/directory; /path/to/php include/poller.php
+ cd /base/directory; /path/to/php scripts/worker.php
Change "/base/directory", and "/path/to/php" as appropriate for your situation.
If you are using a Linux server, run "crontab -e" and add a line like the
one shown, substituting for your unique paths and settings:
-*/10 * * * * cd /home/myname/mywebsite; /usr/bin/php include/poller.php
+*/10 * * * * cd /home/myname/mywebsite; /usr/bin/php scripts/worker.php

-d suhosin.executor.func.blacklist=none -d suhosin.executor.eval.blacklist=none

+-f scripts/worker.php
This worked well for simple test cases, but the friendica-cron still failed with
a fatal error:

'REMOTE_ADDR not set', file '/var/www/friendica/friendica/boot.php', line 1341)

Push (pubsubhubbub) feeds arrive via mod/pubsub.php
-DFRN-poll feed imports arrive via include/poller.php as a scheduled task, this implements the local side of the DFRN-poll protocol.
+DFRN-poll feed imports arrive via src/Worker/OnePoll.php as a scheduled task, this implements the local side of the DFRN-poll protocol.
### Scenario #1. Bob posts a public status message
When a PuSH hub is operational, dfrn-poll clients prefer to receive their information through the PuSH channel.
They will fall back on a daily poll in case the hub has delivery issues (this is quite common when using the default Google reference hub).
If there is no specified hub or hubs, DFRN clients will poll at a configurable (per-contact) rate at up to 5-minute intervals.
-Feeds retrieved via dfrn-poll are bbcode and may also contain private conversations which the poller has permissions to see.
+Feeds retrieved via dfrn-poll are bbcode and may also contain private conversations which the worker has permissions to see.
### Scenario #2. Jack replies to Bob's public message. Jack is on the Friendica/DFRN network.
7. Erstelle einen Cron job oder einen regelmäßigen Task, um den Poller alle 5-10 Minuten im Hintergrund ablaufen zu lassen. Beispiel:
- `cd /base/directory; /path/to/php include/poller.php`
+ `cd /base/directory; /path/to/php scripts/worker.php`
Ändere "/base/directory" und "/path/to/php" auf deine Systemvorgaben.
Wenn du einen Linux-Server nutzt, benutze den Befehl "crontab -e" und ergänze eine Zeile wie die Folgende; angepasst an dein System
-`*/10 * * * * cd /home/myname/mywebsite; /usr/bin/php include/poller.php`
+`*/10 * * * * cd /home/myname/mywebsite; /usr/bin/php scripts/worker.php`
Du kannst den PHP-Pfad finden, indem du den Befehl „which php“ ausführst.
Wenn du Schwierigkeiten mit diesem Schritt hast, kannst du deinen Hosting-Anbieter kontaktieren.
