When you say complex, are you talking about the possible ways to define when your job runs ? You could use a parser for the time format it uses, like this: http://umit.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/umit/branch/ggpolo/umitCore/CronParser.py?revision=1175&view=markup I believe using this parser or some other would cut all the difficulty, then it is all about creating a gui/cli/etc based on it or extend it.. it is up to you =) > thanks > martin > > -- > http://noneisyours.marcher.name > http://feeds.feedburner.com/NoneIsYours > -- > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list > -- -- Guilherme H.
