The kinds of scheduled tasks I'm thinking about are - email reminders - garbage collection - updating syndicated content from other sites
Anybody have other examples with other use patterns?
Performing tasks in the background (eg. sending multiple emails, paging technical support). Just schedule with a time of 'now'. A more intelligent queue based email system, that can retry later if your SMTP host is down. Packing your ZODB regularly. Rebuilding/reindexing Catalog's Removing old Sessions (from SQLSession or FSSession). -- ___ // Zen (alias Stuart Bishop) Work: zen@cs.rmit.edu.au // E N Senior Systems Alchemist Play: zen@shangri-la.dropbear.id.au //__ Computer Science, RMIT WWW: http://www.cs.rmit.edu.au/~zen
