Thanks! I'm embarrassed I did not think of that. I already have the web interface -- just need a fixed url to trigger it. - on On Jun 6, 2009, at 21:49, Eagle Offshore wrote:

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.

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.
