Finally, as described in Chapter 4, we need to run the mail_queue.py script as if it were inside a controller in our app:
1 python web2py.py -S app -M -N -R applications/app/private/mail_queue.py where -S app tells web2py to run "mail_queue.py" as "app", -M tells web2py to execute models, and -N tells web2py not to run cron. For background task : http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/34/08/email-and-sms#Sending-messages-using-a-background-task . I was simply following the command given in this document.
