I put the script statements in a function in the controller and it works fine.
The Task Manager doesn't show any python.exe processes when web2py is running as a service. @ Brian, apparently cron should work https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/web2py/cron$20windows/web2py/id9p6-2h8gw/sOeGtP0JHVoJ but I know Massimo doesn't deal much with Windows, perhaps someone here can confirm that it does indeed work, and provide some answers to the questions above? In the meantime I better look into wget... Many thanks. On Mar 9, 8:43 pm, pbreit <pbreitenb...@gmail.com> wrote: > Do you know if the script runs without error?
