[Zope] scheduling a piece of code to run

[Juergen Plasser]

Hi Greg!

For scheduling you can use the Xron product 
http://www.zope.org/Members/lstaffor/Xron or the Xron product with the 
improved interface http://www.zope.org/Members/jmeile/Xron_improvements. 
Xron misbehaves sometimes, but I use it for about 3 month without any 
problems on Zope 2.5.1 bin./Linux.

HTH,
Juergen
