Using system/external cron, you should use the -J flag. And --nobanner is a good idea, though I've submitted a patch to make -J suppress the banner as well. Depending on what you're trying to accomplish, you're probably better off running web2py requests from a system crontab using -S, instead of using web2py's -C extcron facility. --
