Ok, with the clock.py script worked perfectly. However, I don't think is 
a good idea to pass the authentication credentials to it ie:
% ./clock -s /Scheduler -a user:password

A malicious user could see them via a:
% ps -ef | grep clock

so, I guess I will use cron+wget and a ".wgetrc" file which only root or 
other dedicated user with no login can access.

Another way could be store them on clock.py and make it only accessible 
by root or other user. However, this approach requires you to modify the 
source.

I don't know if there is a simplest way of achieving this.

Thanks,
Josef
