Just want to figure out if there is a smarter solution for handling the following problem:
1. An action is performed by a user (Normal django behaviour handling a request and giving a response). 2. Two hours later I want an automatic action to be done. Solution A: Have a datetime field with an expiry date and say every 10 minutes a cron job checks the DB table for expired entries and performs the programed action. Solution B: Have an event triggered cronjob that only executes once and is created from Django(Python), after the 2 hours passed it performs the programmed action only on the required entry. So how can I implement solution B? Is there a posibility to create a cron on a user action that executes only one time? NOTE: I don't want to rely on a thread that should stay alive for two hours ore more inside the server memory. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
