 Hello,



 I know this may not be a T5 problem but I am just wondering how people are
 doing this.



 I need to use timers(schedulers) for database work.



 Let's take for instance, every January 1st I need to reset everyone's
 position on a list(EX reps for a union position as votes happen).



 So basically let's say I have to reset everyone's 'repid' to null every
 January 1st.



 What is the best way to make this happen using T5?



 I was thinking just run a timer off the appmodule using a flag in the
 Database that it had been run once or something so it does not get run
 multiple times on that day?





 Thanks,

Quartz is an effective way of scheduling things. I've used the Quartz
servlet before - search the mailing list for my notes.
