1.) There are some java -packages around, that mimic cron. wasn't there a cron component in the avalon-excalibur framework ??? You might write something like an action, which opens a runtime-thread, which would organise the rest. shouldn't be a big deal if you really need it. or you write a servlet, that does it and let it autostart on container startup ...
2.) another thought: If you want the user to change something easily, you will provide a config file. (probably). You still could use cron (if you stay onlunux/unix) and generate the cron scripts ;-) But cron scripts are very easy to understand and is it really worthwhile to make something else ??? Except of course you are NOT running on unix and/or you MUST provide platform independence, then i would reconsider 1.) above .. regards, hussayn Xavier RODRIGUEZ wrote:
But I would like something to be integrated into cocoon, in this way the

a scheduler ... I'm now probing this solution
Thanks
