You're using the Popen because you're running something non-python, I take it. And the ".exe" suggests Windows environment. I'm not sure why adding a line of code breaks your app start, but the recommended way of queuing the initial occurrence of a task that repeats periodically is to have a function in your controller file that has args (that makes it not be a URL target), and then use -S from the command line or from a startup file to invoke that function. See <URL:https://groups.google.com/d/msg/web2py-developers/cI7R-9hex7k/PfTsGodYEwAJ> for some sample code. That's a PR that pending for the web2py book. /dps -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
