Just FYI, the web2py book states: Try to avoid web2py cron, and use a background process instead. web2py cron > can start too many Python instances and cause excessive memory usage. >
Using scheduler means an additional long running process using up memory to monitor and manage the scheduler. I'd recommend using your system crontab to run any background processes. This can be invoked within the full web2py environment (if needed) from crontab as follows: # Runs every 5 minutes. */5 * * * * python3 /path/to/web2py.py --no_gui --no-banner -S <web2py_app_name> -M -R /path/to/process/background_process.py HTH, -- 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.
