Hi, In my application, I'd like to run a service once a day that does some processing. It seems that lovely.remotetask can do that. In my scenario, I have multiple sites, whereas each one should have such a cron job. What I do is the following: In zope.conf: <product-config lovely.remotetask> autostart *@* </product-config> And then, I created a subscriber for a INewSiteCreated event: def cronLog(): logger.debug("Log Entry!") cronLogTask = SimpleTask(cronLog) provideUtility(cronLogTask, name=u'cronLog') @adapter(INewSiteCreated) def setupTasks(event): service = TaskService() sm = event.object.getSiteManager() sm['default']['testTaskService1'] = service sm.registerUtility(service, ITaskService, name='TestTaskService1') jobid = service.addCronJob(u'cronLog', minute = tuple(range(60))) Ok, the problem is, that the service is not running, which can be shown by "service.isProcessing()" -> False. Thus I tried to add something like that at the end of the function: service.startProcessing() But that results in a traceback: ---------------- File "/home/dusty/prog/bsp/buildout/eggs/lovely.remotetask-0.2.13-py2.4.egg/lovely/remotetask/service.py", line 158, in startProcessing thread = threading.Thread( AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'db' ---------------- This "db" attribute refers to an object attribute "self._p_jar.db()" - no clue what that is or why it's None. I also thought, that the directives in zope.conf would start my services on a zope restart, but that's not the case. Hmmm, any clues how to start my services?
