Hi,

I was trying to use the cron property of web2py at my project. I am using web2py under windows 7. I had installed wamp server with mod_wsgi. According to the documentation it is suggested to use the external cron. I tried to test the soft cron issue so i added the below line to my application crontab

#crontab
*/2        *        *        *        *        root *decrease/

and at the controllers directory the decrease file is as is

# coding: utf8

def index():

    f=file("C:\\Users\\oguz\\hede.txt", "w+")
    f.write("ok")
    f.close()

    return dict()

So when the application is loaded shouldn't i see the txt is created at every 2 minutes?

What is the usage of the root keyword at the crontab file? For windows application what should it be?

And if i want to use the external cron method, it says i should add a line to system cron file. This doesn't sound me so effective at my application so i will be prefering to use something like pycron. Anybody tested these things at windows 7?
