Create a BasicCronJob which is configurable to call an arbitrary pipeline, and optionally log the results, and a separate TestCronJob which is there specifically for testing?
I have a working one.
I called it CocoonPipelineCronJob, it is configured from cocoon.xconf with one parameter <pipeline>, this is then called as a 'cocoon://' pipeline.
If the logging level is set to 'info' for 'cron', the output of the pipeline is written to the cron log.
I use it for sending emails, but it could be used for other stuff like updating indexes etc.
I suppose it could be generalised by allowing it to access any source, not just cocoon:// pipelines.
It could be embellished by adding an option to allow it to output the called pipeline to a WriteableSource.
Sounds good! Sounds like it would be worth making this part of the core distribution, though -- a number of people sound like they're after something like this..
