My idea is:  
_Create a new argument in cronjob to execute all campign except the ids then was in the arg._  
_It will works against the “–campaign-id” argument, except why this argument cannot accept array._

I think these groups of people would benefit from this idea:  
_Theres some campaings then whe need to run cronjobs every minute, but exist another campaigns then you need to run whith more then one minutes._  
_Without this feature, if you whant to do a fine adjust in the campaigns interval, you need to add one line for each campaigns in cron job._

Why I think they would benefit from this idea:  
_The ideia é optmize this, and add more crontrol. In the future I think so to add some campaigns groups to run the cronjobs in diferent schedule time._

Any code or resources to support this idea:  
_just the idea…_

Are you willing to work on this idea?:  
_sorry, im a newbie developer_

What skills and resources do you need to explore this further?  
_my ideia is turn the cronjobs more optmized._

Hi Leonardo,  
actually this is a very interesting feature to add to Mautic. In our case we have some campaigns/segments running against a 2.5M contacts and they take a very long time. As basically they perform checks of conditions (example: PageHitCount of 3 or more URL) they really don’t need to run every 15min. or so and could run just once a day.  
A flag to avoid running would allow Mautic to execute only those calculations needed for real time processess leaving for late at night other time consuming processess.
