Cron4Plone can do scheduled tasks in Plone
Project description
Product description
Cron4Plone can do scheduled tasks in Plone, in a syntax very like *NIX systems’ cron daemon. It plugs into Zope’s ClockServer machinery.
Installation
Configure the ticker in the buildout (or zope.conf):
[instance] ... eggs = ... Products.ClockServer zope-conf-additional = <clock-server> method /<your-plone-site>/@@cron-tick period 60 </clock-server>Configure the scheduled tasks
In the Plone site setup, go to the cron4plone configuration. This form can be used to enter cron-like jobs.
The cron job should have 5 elements: minute, hour, day_of_month, month and command expression. For the command python and tal expression can be used.
definition: m h dom m command
Examples: * 11 * * portal/@@run_me 15,30 * * * python: portal.my_tool.runThis()
Wait and see
In the ZMI, go to the CronTool. If a cronjob has run the history is shown.
TODO
Day of week is missing in cron-like syntax, add it.
Improve doc test, currently test has basic coverage.
Perhaps make a configuration form that allows users without cron syntax knowledge to enter jobs.
