hi, I am using ZOPE in LINUX RedHat 6.2

My application need to send mails everyday to the people. For that I have written one Dtml method. which will refresh every 24hr.(using html tags.) But for that, that page should be running in the browser always.

That I don't want. Is there any other solution for that. subrahmanyan.

You can do the following: setup your DTML method to return an empty page is all goes well. then, in you CRONTAB, enter a cron entry to run lynx (a text-based browser) ,calling this page. if the return value is empty, then all went well.
