Hi Kendall, there is currently no way to do this using BaseX itself. But I also don’t think that should be the job of BaseX. Instead you can write a servlet and deploy it using Tomcat which runs some Java application, e.g. which could trigger some BaseXX command. See http://crunchify.com/how-to-run-java-program-automatically-on-tomcat-startup/ for an example how to do this.

I have jobs that I schedule, but I have to schedule them again if basex is shutdown. I can test for basex being started outside of basex and then execute queries, but if there is already a way to do this within basex, I would rather do that. Kendall
