[web2py:20809] Cann't update db in cron script?

[YangHong]

Hi all

I added a cron task like this:

web2py$ cat applications/everule/cron/crontab
*/2      *       *       *       *       root *everulecron/
download_upstream

The function:

def download_upstream():
    query = (db.upstreamse.status == 'pending')
    rows = db(query).select(db.upstreamse.ALL)

    for row in rows:
        id = row['id']

        ret = do_somethin()
        if ret == 0:
            print "Update status..."
            db.upstreamse[id] = dict (status='downloading')

Then I call it by:

./web2py.py -P -N -M -S everule/everulecron/download_upstream -a
'recycle'

Then I can see the out put of "Update status...", but when I goto
manage ui, the 'status' still remain the old value.

But if I call everulecron/download_upstream from browser, it do ok,
why?

Thanks for any comments.
