So there's two problems here: scheduling and notifying persistent objects about an event. I don't have a good idea about the scheduling right now, except the hint that using a 'zopectl run' script might be worthwhile. I'm not sure what a 'scheduler function is'. About notifying persistent objects: There is a method 'getAllUtilitiesRegisteredFor(interface)' which might help you. Have a look at zope/app/catalog/catalog.py beginning from line 150 (indexDocSubscriber) how the catalog handles events and dispatches them to multiple catalogs. I think this pretty much matches your use case if you make each RSS feed a (named) utility. Of course you could also have a utility that maintains references to all RSS feed objects and simply loops over them and calls a method for refreshing.
