Has anyone used the
Cron block to invoke a pipeline in the background?
I have a requirement
to generate and send out via email regular reports generated by Cocoon.
Generating the reports and emailing them using the Sendmail transformer is the
easy bit. What I'm not sure about is how to use Cron to trigger the
processing of the pipeline.
I've had a look at
David Kavanagh's work but the last development was that it did not work under
2.1.
Note that this needs
to be a self contained application so using an external trigger is not an
option.
Any hints, guidance,
code snippets or complete solutions would be much
appreciated.
Cheers,
Dean
