We may use OS native scheduler as timer with firebird implementing SQL interface to control it. This will work for any kind of setup, including embedded. The disadvantages are that timers get out of transaction control and we will need 2 absolutely different implementations - posix and windows. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Accelerate Dev Cycles with Automated Cross-Browser Testing - For FREE Instantly run your Selenium tests across 300+ browser/OS combos.
