Re: Using Cron to call pipelines in background

[David Kavanagh]

BTW, I have a version working under 2.1 now, but stopped working on it when the Quartz scheduler was integrated. I figured if our app needed to migrate to 2.1, I'd just add features to the integrated scheduler to match what my task manager does. David PS. I'd be happy to share.
