Module Timer

The Module Timer module provides functionality for automatically uninstalling modules based on a specified duration. This allows site administrators to configure a time limit for how long a module should remain enabled on the site, after which it will be uninstalled automatically when the next cron is run.

The primary use case for this module is:

- Development to Production Transition: Developers can use this module when transitioning a site from a development or staging environment to production. Temporary modules needed during development can be set to uninstall automatically after a specified duration.

- Temporary Module Usage: Modules that are only required for a limited period (e.g., debugging tools, testing utilities) can be enabled temporarily and then removed automatically without manual intervention.

- Streamlined Site Maintenance: Helps maintain a clean production environment by ensuring that unnecessary modules do not remain enabled after their purpose has been fulfilled.

REQUIREMENTS

This module has the following dependency:
