Well there are definitely some experts here, but this is what I understand: 1) the scheduler should run as a completely detached process. 2) Windows, OS X & linux have ways of doing this via task schedulers or startup scripts (often the task scheduler has an option that means run at startup). They are very easy to configure, so you need to learn how to do it or ask your host to do it. We're talking one liners. The linux task scheduler is called cron, and often shared hosting environments let you add entries to cron. A search of webfaction docs for cron indicates that they offer cron.
It may be possible to do it from within web2py. You will need to have python code which can spawn a completely detached process. I am certain this is a much longer learning curve. -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
