Mixed emotions on this one. Obviously it would be good if we could keep syntax regardless of platform, but I'm afraid making such conversions can actually result in problems if someone *really* wants/ needs to use "/" (say, dir /s \dir\to\list > c:\temp\file). Switching separators can be very tricky when it comes to shell execution. > 2.

I discovered a race condition that might occur in some softcron setups (and can also result in lock issues), Massimo put my patch in trunk 3-4 days ago, please try that out first. As for the address, what's your web server setup ? Just plain web2py (and on what port), do you have apache/IIS in the mix, too ? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py Web Framework" group.
