It depends on how you will distribute your application. My mother uses a system based on web2py and I've created a shell script to: - kill any web2py.py process - start a new web2py.py process - open firefox in http://localhost:8000/myapp - kill process when firefox is closed (just add kill command after firefox command) I've created a desktop icon for this shell script and it works fine! So, it depends on your scenario. > Don. > > > -- Álvaro Justen Peta5 - Telecomunicações e Software Livre 21 3021-6001 / 9898-0141 http://www.peta5.com.br/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
