Is there a feasible way of triggering an event at some time in the future within the Zope model? The first workaround that comes to mind is an event "queue" Folder that would hold event objects (with associated date timestamps). Run a cron job alongside that triggers events via a simple "lynx -dump" of a method that walks the queue. Anyone else find this same need? - Ian C. Blenke <icblenke@2c2.com> <ian@blenke.com>

The general opinion seems to have been that an external timer process can interact with ZOPE using xmlrpc or similar to do the work. This is just about doable, but isn't really in the spirit of ZOPE in not being web managable. -- Robin Becker

When my project schedule allows me, I work on my ZScheduler product. I have the basics working now, you should see am alpha of it sometime before Christmas.. -- Martijn Pieters, Web Developer | Antraciet http://www.antraciet.nl | Tel: +31-35-7502100 Fax: +31-35-7502111 | mailto:mj@antraciet.nl http://www.antraciet.nl/~mj | PGP: http://wwwkeys.nl.pgp.net:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xA8A32149 ------------------------------------------
