Hi guys, I think that ALL of us have the need of repeating some tasks in the appengine, like generating reports, maintaining integrity and removing out-of-date caches. From my study, I did not find any approach to automatically repeating a task in the engine as easy as by crond. The experimental task-queue function looks like a solution, though it is too hard to implement and provides actually NO management interfaces. Another way is to use a dedicate server periodically requesting a URL in the engine which then triggers the task, namely converting it to a message-driven model; but no need to say that this is a ugly solution.
Thereby is there any way to build a crond-like platform in google appengine with good management ability and costing reasonable resources?
