Hi Chris,

The scheduler needs to be "poked" at intervals via a URL. You can use cron to do this or you can use the attached "clock.py" to do so (the "cron" attached also gives you an idea of what URL needs to be poked). Ok, with the clock.py script worked perfectly. However, I don't think is a good idea to pass the authentication credentials to it ie: % ./clock -s /Scheduler -a user:password

A malicious user could see them via a: % ps -ef | grep clock so, I guess I will use cron+wget and a ".wgetrc" file which only root or other dedicated user with no login can access. Another way could be store them on clock.py and make it only accessible by root or other user. However, this approach requires you to modify the source. I don't know if there is a simplest way of achieving this. Thanks, Josef
