I also face timeout issue while running some of the tasks that capture data from an external entity and update the local database.
Even though i have the option of setting the timeout using the setting.php file but i don't want to do that since that applies globally.
I would rather like to control the timeout for that particular request which i know would be time consuming.

Is there a way i can do that?

Hi,

What to do next when the buggy module is a CORE REQUIRED MODULE ?

Is it possible to cancel one task that Cron.php is doing ?

Also I don't know how to use firebug or devel, any help?

Thanks a lot !

Hi,

The second tip worked for me...I found the module which was the culprit....Cron is working fine after i disabled that module...

But i don't understand why suddenly it started having issue....since this module was installed while back and cron job was working fine till Saturday 1:23PM(non-working day)...The cron job is set up to run every 30min...i do not see any log entry for the next cron 1:53PM and since then getting this error "Last cron did not completed" ...
