Sounds like you just need some sort of never ending loop (obviously you can
put checks in the loop for stop requests and whatever other complexity you
like / need).
You can pass arguments on the python command line. So for example you could
do something like:
python web2py.py -S your_app -M -A 1 run_my_loop
In the example, 1 is the user record to use and then:
if sys.argv[2] == 'run_my_loop':
this_user = db_auth.auth_user[sys.argv[1]]
if not this_user:
raise Exception('...')
auth.login_bare(this_user.email, this_user.password)
run_my_loop()
