    Description

      Currently moodle administrator that uses auth_db and auth_ldap modules should config cron twice, for regular cron and for syncing users with external source. Converting this tasks to sheduled tasks (disabled by default) will allow to more easily config and execute such task from moodle.
      Is such improvements planned by moodle HQ? Will it be helpfull, if i provide patch?
