The service script works well for web2py, but getting the scheduler running as a service is not supported by web2py. I hacked something but not very well .. the scheduler service runs but I couldn't work out how to make it hang around and provide status updates, so my service tells the service manager it has stopped while in fact it is still running. Solving this needs me to understand how web2py starts the scheduler.
