we have yet another scheduler in trunk, based on the tests performed in this thread. the new scheduler is still imperfect but - supports the same syntax as before (although tables are a little different) - should run on windows (needs testing) - does not require defining any module (only instantiate scheduler in model) - tasks (if defined in models) sees the entire model environment (as controllers do) - the scheduler of one app can schedule tasks for other apps (or not) MUST set scheduler_task.application_name = '...' - workers are monitored
It can be improved but let's test this for a few days. There is a doctest with examples in web2py/gluon.scheduler.py Massimo
