As I figured out more recently (like in an answer I posted a few hours ago), you don't really need a time delta, you just need to figure out if the next run is "this month" or "next month' (1-12, not 0-11), and use next_run_time. > You can make sched_tasks() start just the first run, and have the task > itself schedule itself (actually, another task instance running the same > code); in that case, the call to scheduler.queue_task() will set repeats=0. > > Please read > <URL: > http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/04/the-core#web2py-Scheduler> > for details about the scheduler. > > /dps -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
