I can't vouch for either of the products you mentioned, but I've had good luck with cron on linux teamed with wget :-) There doesn't seem to be much support in Zope for use cases where an action is not event driven, ie not a request/response pair. *** Vaporware Follows*** What *I* want, (but haven't written yet) is a product that can do continuous low level scraping of legacy data sources and feed this data into an RDBMS or the ZODB. A kind of "helper daemon". How each instance is scheduled would be one of many adjustable per instance config options :-) However, assuming that I do get around to building this product, I don't know where on the scale between ugly hack and elegant, reusable solution it will fall. This will also determine whether you ever see it on "zope.org" :-) Adam _______________________________________________ Zope-Dev maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )
