Mark: For simpler tasks I write direct actions then call that DA from curl. Then I set up a cron job to call a simple shell script that runs curl (or other). For security purposes, I check the requesting host in the DA. So, if the request doesn't come from "localhost" or "127.0.0.1" it doesn't run.
This solution obviously doesn't work well if you want to be able to set the schedule within the app. Tim Worman UCLA GSE&IS On Jan 6, 2010, at 4:22 PM, Mark Woollard wrote: > What's the recommended way to run a periodic task from within a WO > application?
