You don't need to do this via wget.
There is a utilities (down in ~lib/python/ZODB/ ?) called fsrecover.py that has an option to pack the database.
fsrecover.py + cron = packed ZODB.
Ah many thanks Jake. Any clues on how to flush the cache on regular basis, then this maitenance item would be all covered..:)
Look at the source of the ZMI page that does this and you'll be able to see the URL that you need to poke. But I don't see the sense in flushing the cache: it doesn't grow once it's full and a cache works better when it's full. Stale data should take care of itself. --jcc -- "Code generators follow the 80/20 rule. They solve most of the problems, but not all of the problems. There are always features and edge cases that will need hand-coding. Even if code generation could build 100 percent of the application, there will still be an endless supply of boring meetings about feature design." (http://www.devx.com/java/editorial/15511)
