Massimo - I'm willing to help do some testing since I'm stuck on Windows. SergeyPo - isn't using unix cron and "python web2py.py -C -D 1" (external cron) the recommended method when using FastCGI or WSGI? (http://web2py.com/examples/default/cron) Why would doing essentially the same thing with the Windows scheduler be any different? I don't think python is going to stay running once the cron run is done.
