By searching for "exec_environment limitations" I found a recent thread pointing out to use
import os os.chdir('/path/to/web2py/') from gluon.shell import env globals().update(env('you_app_name', import_models=True)) # now do whatever you need you can use request, db, helpers, etc. when accessing database models from an external script. My application contains the web2py server and scripts run from cron (Task Scheduler) updating the database on a regular basis. One of the next steps is to add authentication to the web2py server. I am wondering what will happen to the independent script accessing the database tables. Will there be any restrictions? Regards, Andreas baloand (at) gmail.com PS: I second the motion to update the documentation crontab section to mention above code snippet. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
