Scheduler with cocoon

Does anybody know how to make a scheduler that will execute part of a
pipeline ...
In other word, I would like to execute a
generation/transformation/serialization process each day ...

Does anybody know if a cocoon component exists to do this? 

Thanks

Xavier

I normally use an utility to do a similar job called geturl. It's free 
and works in windows

There is a way to use cocoon from the command line. Try to search in the 
group

1.) There are some java -packages around, that mimic cron.
wasn't there a cron component in the avalon-excalibur framework  ???
You might write something like an action, which opens a runtime-thread,
which would organise the rest. shouldn't be a big deal if you really
need it. or you write a servlet, that does it and let it autostart
on container startup ...

2.) another thought: If you want the user to change something easily,
you will provide a config file. (probably).
You still could use cron (if you stay onlunux/unix) and generate the
cron scripts ;-) But cron scripts are very easy to understand and
is it really worthwhile to make something else ???

Except of course you are NOT running on unix and/or you MUST provide
platform independence, then i would reconsider 1.) above ..

But I would like something to be integrated into cocoon, in this way the
final user will easily change the hours for example... 
Someone tells me about wyona cms (http://www.wyona.org) that integrates
a scheduler ... I'm now probing this solution

If you are not Linux expert, but using it more casually, the above can seem a 
bit cryptic.

cron is a time scheduler in Linux, which executes shell scripts according to 
settings in a table. Most Linux Distros has a default cron configuration that 
is pretty is to use. For RedHat, create a sheel script and place it in 
/etc/cron.daily, and it will execute once a day (think it is in the middle of 
night).

The script should look like this;

#!/bin/sh
#

wget http://www.mydomain.com/cocoon/theResource

and I think you need to set the "x" flag on the script file, such as;

chmod +x mydailyrequest.sh


That should be crystal clear.

I think this is a perfect solution, as cron is extremely reliable.

Hi Xavier,

provided you're using Linix, you might want to create a cron job a'la wget 
http://url that triggers your pipeline.

This is just a fallback possibility if nobody comes up with a better answer.
