- * CLI sync for full external database synchronisation.
- *
- * Sample cron entry:
- * # 5 minutes past 4am
- * 5 4 * * * $sudo -u www-data /usr/bin/php /var/www/moodle/enrol/database/cli/sync.php
- *
- * Notes:
- *   - it is required to use the web server account when executing PHP CLI scripts
- *   - you need to change the "www-data" to match the apache user account
- *   - use "su" if "sudo" not available
- *
- * @deprecated since Moodle 3.7 MDL-59986 - please do not use this CLI script any more, use scheduled task instead.
- * @todo       MDL-63266 This will be deleted in Moodle 3.11.
