Background Service Manager

Overview

OpenEMR (as of version 4.1.2) has a mechanism for running/tracking background services (GUIs are at Administration->Reports->Services). This mechanism scans through the available services and executes the corresponding service calls at a configurable frequency, to allow for seamless integration of background activities. The mechanism was created to allow regular retrieval of incoming Direct messages. It can be readily extended to any number of additional services. Please see the following script documentation for details:
