  18   * Extdb user sync script.
  19   *
  20   * This script is meant to be called from a system cronjob to
  21   * sync moodle user accounts with external database.
  22   * It is required when using internal passwords (== passwords not defined in external database).
  23   *
  24   * Sample cron entry:
  25   * # 5 minutes past 4am
  26   * 5 4 * * * sudo -u www-data /usr/bin/php /var/www/moodle/auth/db/cli/sync_users.php
  27   *
  28   * Notes:
  29   *   - it is required to use the web server account when executing PHP CLI scripts
  30   *   - you need to change the "www-data" to match the apache user account
  31   *   - use "su" if "sudo" not available
  32   *   - If you have a large number of users, you may want to raise the memory limits
  33   *     by passing -d memory_limit=256M
  34   *   - For debugging & better logging, you are encouraged to use in the command line:
  35   *     -d log_errors=1 -d error_reporting=E_ALL -d display_errors=0 -d html_errors=0
  36   *
  37   * Performance notes:
  38   * + The code is simpler, but not as optimized as its LDAP counterpart.
