hi

How to run periodic processes inside Zope? I need it to run a process that sends E-mail every hour.

you can use the XRON product but a better solution would be to use Cron (Unix/Linux). I would also recommend you Cron. Once I used XCron and my system crashed everytime without finishing the XCron Method (It wasn't a Xron issue, but it affected the XCron Schedule). When Zope tried to restart, it tried to excecute the XCron Method again, so I got another email. It did it till I opened my email box (I got 500 emails).

With Cron and wget this won't happen because unix/linux finish the excecution of the method without caring if it whether crashes or not. Regards, Josef
