Hi all, In messages like http://www.mail-archive.com/zope3-dev@zope.org/msg05964.html, zc.async is mentioned as the solution for cron-like functionality in zope. Effectively you would not need zope2's clockserver. Reading zc.async's docs, I cannot find how to do a given task regularly. For example a weekly pack. Or a daily call of one method that archives older items. That sort of stuff. Many things can be handled by cronjobs, but you tend to get a lot of them. And you don't want to embed the password everywhere. Anyway: I cannot find the word "cron" anywhere in the zc.async source. Or "repetitive" or "regular". Is zc.async not intended for this kind of usage?
