I'm confused about this topic. I want to run the scheduler in the background, as a windows service. web2py is running as a windows service. >From reading this group, it seems that web2py's built in cron is not a reliable way to start the scheduler if web2py is a service.
I know little about windows services. I see there are a few python recipes for making a script into a service, but I'm starting to feel like I'm reinventing wheels. --
