any simple example on how to create a persistent background process that runs continuously on the server side no matter what user signs in or out, and no matter how many concurrent users are on the system?
Here are a couple of examples: when a user performs an "event", it kicks off a server side process that continues executing even when that user signs off. when a user performs an "event", then after a set period of time (say two days) then an email is automatically sent to a specified e-mail address that happens even if the user that triggers the event no longer has an active session on the server side. I am attempting to build an auction application in the web2py framework and would be interested in learning a tecqnique of starting (and stopping) persistent server-side background processes.
