Specifying a Host?
Is there a way to specify running a cron for a specific Host? If you currently setup a cron it runs the same function on all Hosts.

Use webadmin, or ejabberd svn, or apply a patch
Currently, you set a task this way:
{modules, [ ... {mod_cron, [{tasks, [ {3, hours, mnesia, info, []} ]}]}, ... ]}.This starts a mod_cron in each vhost, and configures all them with the same options. This means each vhost will run this task.
To enable a module only in a vhost, or to have different configurations for each vhost, you need to use the webadmin.
A feature was recently included in ejabberd svn which allows to define per-vhost modules: Config file: add a way to append values to config options. So, if you use a recent version of ejabberd SVN, you can enable mod_cron only in a vhost, and only this one will run the task. To do that, use only this configuration:
{host_config, "two.example.org", [ {modules, [ {mod_cron, [{tasks, [ {3, hours, mnesia, info, []} ]}]} ]} ]}.If you don't want to update to ejabberd SVN, you can find the patch in Bugzilla: New option host_config_add.
