Re: What is the best way to implement time-based / cronjob actions in a Django app?

RabbitMQ implements a standards based protocol called AMQP, which provides asynchronous, reliable delivery of messages. The broker simply passes messages around. Celeryd processes join a message broker (RabbitMQ) and pull messages fr

Thank you for taking the time to explain that, Shawn -- it makes everything a LOT clearer. If you could spare the time, I'm curious about a couple of aspects of the architecture: - What is the purpose of having a separate broker and daemon? - How does the broker know when to pass the task back to

I would be willing to give an overview. Basically you should: 1) yum or apt-get install rabbitMQ 2) make sure the service is started. 3) Set up your broker by running these 3 commands . 4) pip install djan

I have found cron to be a poor solution for this although it is tempting since it is so easy and will get you started right away. What I observe happens is, basically someone puts the cron job in crontab, and then a lot of time passes, and folks forget which machine in the cluster is actually in c

Re: What is the best way to implement time-based / cronjob actions in a Django app?

Another technique, that I feel should be pointed out, is a custom django-admin command: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/custom-management-commands/. If you are going to use a crontab to run a Python script, this is by far the easiest way to do it. On 13 Okt, 10:53, ringemup wrote: > Y

Re: What is the best way to implement time-based / cronjob actions in a Django app?

You can also use this technique[1] to create a python script that you can call from your crontab. Basically, you can call anything in Django from any Python script as long as you set the DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE environment variable first and have Django, your project, and your apps on your path.

You really should take a look at django-celery. It is the right tool for this job IMHO. Brian On Wed, Oct 13, 2010 at 7:38 AM, Mattias Linnap wrote: > Hi Django users, > > I'm building an application with Djang

What is the best way to implement time-based / cronjob actions in a Django app?

Hi Django users, I'm building an application with Django, and I need some database changes to occur at certain times in the future - independently of any web request. Things like cleaning up expired sessions, deleting expired user actions, etc. What is the best way to implement those? 1) Make a s
