Can you Please Show me An Example Or Something , I cant understand  it 

Best Regards,

In a model:

from gluon.scheduler import Scheduler

def mytask():

       # do something

       return

scheduler=Scheduler(db,tasks=dict(mytask=mytask)

if db(db.scheduler_task).isempty():

      db.scheduler_task.insert(

            application_name = 'yourapp',

            task_name = 'mytask',

            function_name = 'mytask',

            repeats = 0, # unilimted

            period = 24*3600) # seconds

Then from the shell run

python web2py.py -K yourapp

this will create a background process which picks and runs the scheduled tasks. You can monitor tasks using appadmin.

But if i want a website to do that forever , i just need to go to the shell i do  python web2py.py -K yourapp one time 

[Massimo Di Pierro]

Yes. You just need to make sure the background process is running. From appadmin you start, stop, restart, count your tasks and check their status.
