To be honest, that's the way I do it since long time ago, never thought about changing it. But now that you've pointed that out, I've taken another look to the book. The book explains how to run the scheduler via upstart [1], but I'm using CentOS 7, which uses *systemd* instead of *upstart.*
In case it helps someone else, here is what I did to run the scheduler via systemd: 1) I've created the file */home/myuser/web2py/scheduler.sh* with this content: #!/bin/bash /bin/python /home/myuser/web2py/web2py.py -K myapp 2) Then I've created the file */etc/systemd/system/scheduler.service* with this content: [Unit] Description=web2py Scheduler [Service] ExecStart=/home/myuser/web2py/scheduler.sh User=nginx [Install] WantedBy=default.target 3) Then run this commands to start the service: sudo systemctl daemon-reload sudo systemctl start scheduler If you need to check the status of the service, run: sudo systemctl status scheduler If you need to enable the service to run on startup, run: sudo systemctl enable scheduler Thank you very much Dave for your time! Best regards, Lisandro.
