The simplest approach is to make your users log in at a particular page and add a call to any housekeeping scripts there. Might work for smaller sites or sites with https. A more complicated approach would be to include a trigger in your standard header that can establish whether someone is newly authenticated and will call your housekeeping code if it detects a new login. This is probably a more robust approach, as it will accommodate deep linking. Another approach, of course, is to do housecleaning independently of user visits. Deft usage of tools like cron and wget will allow you to schedule regular events for your server. HTH, Dylan At 05:32 PM 10/20/2002 -0400, you wrote:

I would like be able to run a python script upon authentication ( basically whenever the user has to supply a user name and password) to do some logging and housekeeping chores -- is this possible?

Any clues where to look for strategies/code?
