I agree with Steve. Running services from inside web2py is not clean. Consider that web2py threads are managed by the web server and are subject to many limitations because of security (timeout, limited permissions, etc.). Services instead are supposed to be managed by the os and may need to run without timeout and with less restrictive permissions.
Notice that you can create a folder "services" under you app and then start another instance of web2py from the shell using nohup python web2py.py -S yourapp -M -R applications/yourapp/services/ yourservice.py & On Oct 8, 8:57 pm, "Steve Shepherd" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Is this as a response to remoinvg the usage of CRON? > Does the overhead hurt Web2py performance? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py Web Framework" group.
