schedule server possible?
Hi,
The Apache 2 Connection handler opens up the possibility of
using it for all kinds of protocol servers.
However, I have a wild question: Is it possible to use Apache mod_perl
for a schedule server? I.e., a server that is self existent.
For example, I can use Apache 2 for Telnet, FTP, SMTP, or even Telephony
Server.
But I will need a thread that processes the backend stuff, such as
maintaining
the database and message queue (more like a cron). Is this configuration
possible?

You can do this now. We rely on cron to kick off the job, but all
the business logic is in Apache/mod_perl. The advantage of using cron
is that it has rich support for scheduling.

Steve,
How about another process on the same machine that periodically accesses
