Cron doesn't work when running windows as a service?! :( Well that just screwed up my plans - I'm working on a reporting app that will rely fairly heavily on regularly pulling in external data and figured the built-in cron would handle that.
Is it all forms of cron that don't work with web2py running as a windows service or just the hard cron? In other words, does soft cron still work? ~Brian On Dec 4, 9:52 am, mdipierro <[email protected]> wrote: > There is a logical problem. the web server andcronare two processes > and therefore they should be threated as two different services or > there should be a mechanism to start and stop them both.
