[web2py] Re: Scheduler Quick question
Well there are definitely some experts here, but this is what I understand: 1) the scheduler should run as a completely detached process. 2) Windows, OS X & linux have ways of doing this via task schedulers or startup scripts (often the task scheduler has an option that means run at startup). They are very easy to configure, so you need to learn how to do it or ask your host to do it. We're talking one liners. The linux task scheduler is called cron, and often shared hosting environments let you add entries to cron. A search of webfaction docs for cron indicates that they offer cron. It may be possible to do it from within web2py. You will need to have python code which can spawn a completely detached process. I am certain this is a much longer learning curve. -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.

[web2py] Re: Scheduler Quick question
I guess I'm having a hard time configuring the scheduler as a daemon on webfaction (not much of a sys admin) and it seemed more pratical to do it this way, since it would have the added advantage of reloading the modules and I have quite a bit of my code in modules.

unless changes are in modules, scheduler loads a pristine environment at every task (meaning that if you change models or task functions, as soon as you save the file the scheduler will pick up the changes) On Wednesday, February 6, 2013 5:35:10 PM UTC+1, Leonel Câmara wrote: > > Yes the scheduler certainly doesn't need to reboot every time the > webserver restarts.

Yes the scheduler certainly doesn't need to reboot every time the webserver restarts. However it's pratical that it does as many times, webserver reboots correspond with code updates that I want the scheduler to see too. -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.

A server is a machine which reboots, a webserver like apache is a process which can restart. It's my belief that you don't need to restart the scheduler just because the web server restarts. If you want to make sure the scheduler is running if your host reboots their server, then you should contact them. My linux shared hosting offers cron. I also have an ec2 virtual machine running Ubuntu server; in that case, I suppose I would add the scheduler to the rc.local start scripts, although I haven't done either yet since I so far only have the scheduler on a windows deployment. -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.

That's the way it works on windows, in any case. I use rocket and I can restart that process (or service in Windows speak) without needing to stop and start the scheduler service. It just runs regardless of what the web server is doing. -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
