Hi Chris I'm on Windows for this project and Clock Server mentions compiling using C++. Now I've compiled using Python but would rather not get involved in the hard core :-) I may just resort to a Windows batch process which calls the Zope process. Frustrating though that ZopeScheduler appears not to work on Windows ----- Original Message ---- From: Chris McDonough <chrism@plope.com> To: michaelntmilne <michaelntmilne@yahoo.co.uk> Cc: zope@zope.org Sent: Monday, 2 October, 2006 5:09:48 PM Subject: Re: [Zope] TimerService/ZopeScheduler runs but doesn't run scripts...... Yu could instead use ClockServer... it's built in to Zope 2.10 but can be used in older versions via a product... see http:// www.plope.com/software/ClockServer/ for code and docs. - C On Oct 2, 2006, at 11:42 AM, michaelntmilne wrote:

Hi

I've set up ZopeScheduler and TimerService to run a basic pack the ZODB script based on a time period. It won't run for some reason. TimerService starts up fine and listend.

I get this in the log but no info on a script being run. I have the correct path and time info in ZopeScheduler. Zope 2.8.7 Windows.

Thanks

There you go, once again making assertions about what work other people should be doing without any consideration of whether or not they give a monkeys and without offering to pay them to do what is, after all, your work...

Windows is a pain in the ass as a server platform. That said it's OK for Python development, as long as you don't need a c-compiler, it's a good desktop, and it is absolutely necessary to support for demos. So I agree, the disdain for Windows is short-sighted. An unix sucks as desktop. (Although it seems to me though that Windows suck more and more and Unix less and less, so in a couple of years...) ;) -- Lennart Regebro, Nuxeo http://www.nuxeo.com/ CPS Content Management http://www.cps-project.org/

By the way, it used to work fine on cygwin (was Zope 2.7 when I last used it on a windows+cygwin box)... ;) My 2 euro cents. Pascal

I'm sure the authors look forward to your patches and unit tests...

You're ranting at one of the few people on this list who does a lot of Zope development on Windows...

Anyway, this product should say it doesn't work or hasn't been tested on Windows if that is the case.

Should is say it doesn't work on a Sinclair Spectrum or iPod while it's at it?

Well if you're not open to opinion then you have a closed mind

I'm sure the authors look forward to your patches and unit tests...

? I'm not a programmer and don't aspire to be one. Does everyone have to program? What about division of labour or are you stuck in the dark ages?

Illogical - Does Zope run on a Spectrum?No. Does Zope run on an iPod? No. (not even a computing plaform by the way) Does Zope run on Windows? Yes. Does the product claim to work on Zope on Windows - Yes. Chris Withers <chris@simplistix.co.uk> wrote: michaelntmilne wrote:

yes well just don't get involved in the original conversation if you have nothing constructive to offer. and if you think i am a troll then you're more ignorant that i thought. you come up with some ignorant original comments based on emotive language and then fail to follow this up with any logical debate at all...amazing.
