Both python & perl have ports to just about every OS, more than Java. And python in particular is mindlessly easy to write in, and has the extra bonus in that it has been ported to Java (Jython)
Check out ActivePerl & ActivePython at http://www.activestate.com (windows ports, unixx ports are easy to find). How you schedule the scripts to run will be OS dependent. But there's probably some crond functionality in Cygwin, in which case using cron as your scheduler is pretty much platform independent as well, both Unix & Windows. Also, there's a crond for Windows written in python: http://pycron32.sourceforge.net/ don't know anything about it though, just googled it. rob On Mon, 28 Oct 2002 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > I completely agree with you and Bertrand: Cocoon have already so much stuffs and it >wouldn't be a good solution to add this type of feature. > > So I need a scheduler app writing in Java because I want to keep independance with >OS (my server runs on Windows but I could change this).
