OK, maybe my last question was phrased so naively that it wasn't fit to answer. So I'll re-phrase: the web2py manual says that to run external cron, the "-J" and "-N" command line parameters need to be set.
"If you are running external cron, make sure you add the -N command line parameter to your web2py startup script or config so there is no collision of multiple types of cron." So what do users need to do who are not running web2py from the command line? Can we not use the external cron option? And yes, I've used the manual and Google extensively to look for an answer to this problem. I can only find references to the fact that it's possible to pass command line arguments to mod_wsgi when using web2py. I can't find out how. If it's in the manual, I can't find it. I see where windows users can use options.conf, but it's clearly only for windows users. If it's possible for linux, I'm guessing either the apache config or the wsgi handler files, but I'd like to know for sure. Thank you in advance for your help. Eric
