cron doesn't even have to be installed. the point of the module is to write a very simple script that acts as a scheduler. Within that script the scheduler can set its events, then you start the event loop. When the scheduler sees that it is time to fire an event that event occurs. No access to cron, crontab, etc. is needed. The only consideration is bullet-proofing the app such that it starts, stops, crashes, etc. somewhat safely. cron has been around a while (shall we say), so it is very robust, where your implementation may not be as much, but then apparently there is access privileges yours would have that cron won't. At least that is my understanding of the module, write a quick sample script see if it will do what you want. http://danconia.org > -----Original Message----- > From: Wiggins d Anconia [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, July 08, 2004 12:05 PM > To: NandKishore.Sagi; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: Cron Tab Implementation > > > Please bottom post... > > > Actually I had a lot of time right now at hand and I was trying to > > spend littile time more effectively ;).
