I am back working with Zope 2.9.1 (yes I know it is long in the tooth but I am trying to avoid adding the pain of upgrading, having products fail and all the usually comes with upgrading if I can). I am looking for a strategy to schedule and carry out tasks at periodic future dates. I had a look at Xron (http://www.zope.org/Members/lstaffor/Xron/) but it either doesn't seem to work with 2.9.1 (or I can't get it to work). I install it in the products directory but it doesn't show up in the product directory when Zope restarts and naturally none of the objects it is supposed to supply can be added. I haven't investigated what the problem is (and am not even totally sure how to go about it). Is there something isn't obvious that I might be missing? Barring getting it to work are there any other alternatives?
I'd start by looking at the logs to see what's failing, should be a traceback there somewhere. Other than that there is clockserver, but I am not sure that was/is available in the version you are using. -- Jeffrey D Peterson Webmaster Crary Industries, Inc. 237 12th St NW West Fargo, ND 58078 P: 701-499-5928 E: jeff.peterson@crary.com

Can't say I have ever used it, only heard about it on this list. Seems to me it's built into the latest releases.

It might well be on your version of Zope, it works fine in later versions, though... That said, if you take a look at Stepper, you'll see that I documented how to get it all to work on Windows (use Scheduled Tasks to drive it) cheers, Chris PS: But seriously, how much of a masochist are you?

So I installed 2.11.4 -- the latest that I could find and still the same issue. I get the impression from the age of the Zope installs, the state of disrepair and link rot of the zope.org site that Zope is in its final death throes as an independent entity ? I tried to look for an independent version of Plone that I can install on an existing Zope-- the only install I could find is a complete installer including Zope. Is Plone the new Zope?

Clockserver is actually built into newer Zopes and needn't be installed separately. You configure it by adding stuff to your zope.conf file, eg.: <clock-server> method /mysite/do_stuff period 60 user admin password secret host localhost </clock-server>

This is what I mentioned about it being built-in to newer versions. You set it up in zope.conf.

Nope, Bluebream (formerly known as Zope3) is the new Zope, though Zope2 is alive and very well. Might consider peeking at Grok as well. Though I don't know if either of those will help you.
