In fact, I'm trying to use ZOPE to do some automation, eg. reminder emails, news clipping, or maybe some WAP applications as well. I want to make it able to schedule itselfs so as to better utilise resources, make ZOPE more or less real-time, and to prevent overloading or spam from the content source. Well, since ZOPE runs from source, I think we may extend it to do some remote control works as well. eg. redirect your fax at home to your email account, allow you to listen to your home voice mails, etc.
Have a look at ZScheduler, which just just that. If not exactly what you need, it will certainly show you how to access the Zope database from a seperate thread: http://www.zope.org//Members/lstaffor/ZScheduler -- Martijn Pieters | Software Engineer mailto:mj@digicool.com | Digital Creations http://www.digicool.com/ | Creators of Zope http://www.zope.org/ | ZopeStudio: http://www.zope.org/Products/ZopeStudio -----------------------------------------------------
