[web2py] Re: cron job not running at all
For something like that you have to use the unix cron. The web2py cron is only for python tasks. Anyway, cron is deprecated now that we have the scheduler.

[web2py] Re: cron job not running at all
Ok I am giving up on cron and going to try the scheduler. One thing I am not sure of is whether or not the scheduler worker task is started automatically by default? How can I tell if there are any worker tasks executing. In the web faction environment how can I start the worker tasks. And do so automatically after a reboot. --

Cron was broken. Until 1h ago (revision hg 4451). @reboot should also be fixed. The problem was a typo introduced in rev 4278.

[web2py] Re: cron job not running at all
I am still working on this with the hopes of getting it to work on my
local dev machine before deploying to production, but after reading the
forums I am very unsure of the best practice to get a simple background
task that wakes up every 10 (or n minutes) does some stuff (in my case see
if there is any email delivered to to an imap mailbox and process) then
goes back to sleep. I think the oprions are cron, scheduler, or make my
own. Shceduler seems like overkill for, rolling my own is way to much
work, leaving me with cron. Cron seems to have some options as well that
I am not sure I understand form reading the book. It seems each
application has its own cron file that can execute controllers in the app,
or you can use the system cron tab and invoke a separate instance of web2py
passingparameters to tell the new instance what app/controller to execute.
Is this correct? what is the best practice or reccommedned way to
accomplishing my scenario?
As mentioned above I currently have the cron job configured as part of the
web2py app, but cannot get the cron job to start. The additioninal info I
found onthe forums mentioed an error that I also see on my dev machine:
Exception AttributeError: AttributeError('_DummyThread' object has no
attribute '_Thread__block',) in module 'threading' from
'/usr/lib/python2.7/threading.pyc' ignored
the mentions implies this has been fixed and I am not sure if it is related
to my issue or not (I suspect so as the error message appears about every
10 minutes in my console window).
Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?
