[Zope] Automatic Indexing at Regular Times

[Chris McDonough]

The (somewhat broken) CatalogAware class is used for real-time automatic
indexing.  Toby Dickenson lately created a BetterCatalogAware that would
be a better choice (search the maillist).

Or as you say, you can use a cron job.

Zope has no scheduler and there are no plans to give it one... a
combination of cron and XML-RPC work well in lieu of one.
