I haven't used the Homemade task queues, so I can't tell you much about the -S issues. I've used -S on the console with no particular issues. The scheduler is pretty easy to use. Niphlod has some fine examples in his test code, and I've a pull request to add some example material to the book: <URL:https://groups.google.com/d/msg/web2py/dnhHl8X2Dmc/ZbdwiTo_AwAJ> <URL:https://groups.google.com/d/msg/web2py-developers/cI7R-9hex7k/PfTsGodYEwAJ> There are several relevant posts in this group: <URL:https://groups.google.com/d/msg/web2py/dnhHl8X2Dmc/fkf2fV8pAwAJ> <URL:https://groups.google.com/d/msg/web2py/0OGyb5lWcjI/RL9f6nvOCAAJ> <URL:https://groups.google.com/d/topic/web2py/x1CCFWflmV8/discussion> /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.
