711637 - migrate cron jobs from PHP

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(addons.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Maintenance Scripts, defect)

Description

[Wil Clouser [:clouserw]]

Cron jobs are tracked in https://github.com/mozilla/zamboni/blob/master/scripts/crontab/crontab.tpl and are easily run via `./manage.py cron $NAME`.  When migrating, consider if there are more effecient ways to do the cron job - these are all pretty old.  Sheeri may be able to help with optimization questions, but if they'll take longer than this milestone copy over what we've got and file a new bug to improve it.

These cron jobs still remain in the old repository:

Still used on category landing pages.
