Litteraly cron? Why not use the Scheduler package? Was that what it was designed for?
Errm, yes, but we never finished it :^) We wanted to have a cron-like
Bugger; I wanted to use the Scheduler for my slashdot package. So how do you do timed events now?
We use cron. :| We shelved Sheduler a while back because: - It wasn't critical to the projects we were working on, - At the time, threads were problematic on some platforms we did care about (and Scheduler was threads based), - We were planning to add concurrency application-wide and we expected the scheduler design to be significantly affected. We plan to revisit Scheduler in a big way after Zope 2.0 is releases, however, if anyone wants to make progress on Scheduler now, I'd be happy to provide advice and review.
