should be

there may be other problems.

According to my understanding of web2py book you should use hard coded cron, which means the system one.

if apache manages start and stop of web2py threads you cannot use cron inside apache. This does not mean you cannot use web2py cron.

[web2py] Re: CRON doesn't work
You can have a function but the script must call it: from time import ctime def test_cron(): db.dbg.insert(dbgmsg=ctime()) db.commit() return ready test_cron() # On Nov 4, 10:24 am, Vinicius Assef vinicius...@gmail.com wrote: Sverre, I think you must use your own application crontab, located at applications/your_app/cron I suggest you create a python script without any functions inside it, to isolate your cron job, and put it in applications/your_app/private/. I do this here and it works nice. Following my advice, your crontab would be like it: */2 * * * * root *applications/your_app/private/test_cron.py And your test_cron.py will have no def inside it. -- Vinicius Assef.
