One way this is often done is to create a url that, when accessed, executes the periodic code you want and replies with a short status. Then create a crontab job on any host you like using curl to fetch that url on a schedule. Works on all web development environments and has the bonus that you can 'kick it' from any web browser if you want it done on demand. -Todd Blanchard On Jun 6, 2009, at 2:46 AM, Oscar Nierstrasz wrote:
Hi folks,
I need to run a periodic job in a Pier image. (Checking for new PDF files and generating news items.)
What is the recommended way to do this?
Thanks in advance for any tips.
