[Zope] Xron or cron + wget?

[Jürgen Plasser / Hexagon]

Hi Ruslan,

When I read some discussions concerning Xron it seems that I am the only 
one who uses Xron successfully in a production environment. I have tried to 
get it running for a long time, and believe me, it never did. Then I 
recognized that I have set the wrong rights or something else that I don't 
remember these days. Since then Xron runs as it should and I did never 
experience any anomalies.

I run Xron on a linux box with Zope 2.5.1 binary distribution.

Today I have installed Xron on a SuSE Linux 8.0, Zope 2.6.0 (final, 
source), Python 2.1.3 box and it keeps running without any problems (until 
now). And without any patches or changes.

When I read those comments from other people in the Zope community I think 
more reliable is the cron+wget way of life. But why not Xron, just test it, 
it can be very easy to use, because it's inetrgation into the ZMI.

If you are interested in the jmeile's Xron patch (better interface for 
start and frequency of events), look at:

HTH,
Jürgen
