How to ZCatalog DTML documents and/or HTML files automatically?
Hello, this is probably a stupid question, But I'm damned if I can find a solution :-( We have an internal site to store technical documents (in HTML or as DTML documents). We are using ZCatalog to provide an index for it. Now, we want to have some mechanism that updates the index every night (including pages added during the day). On this list, I have read that the obvious solution, ZScheduler, "does not work". I take it "does not work reliably for all conceivable uses". Does this mean it is likely to work for what I have in mind? Are there any other ways to achieve it? I am running this on Unix (Solaris 7, in fact). Confused, Jan
In the Zope howto Document (you can download it from the zope document site), there is a howto to use unix's cron with zope. hope this helps, Luis. On Sat, 03 Jun 2000, you wrote:

I would use cron, there is a howto on Zope.org for that.

Warning: It renders zope useless on Linux. (Last I tried/heard) It _may_ do that on Solaris as well.
ZScheduler is sort of functional on Win98, but not at all on Unix. It seems to cause Zope to restart when the product is loaded and it doesn't trigger events. I haven't had the time to track down the symptoms, let alone the real causes. I'd gladly accept help from others. -- Loren ----- Original Message ----- From: <jan@haul.de> To: <zope@zope.org> Sent: June 03, 2000 03:12 AM Subject: [Zope] How to ZCatalog DTML documents and/or HTML files automatically?
