to be or not to be... run by scheduler

[Manuele Pesenti]

Hi *!

Is there a way to distinguish from within a function if it's run from
the scheduler or not?

thanks a lot

If it is a scheduler execution, request.is_scheduler will be True.

It seams that the parameter request.is_scheduler is always set to false
on my colleague windows system

could it be a possible bug? Any other experience?

I can confirm that on AWS linux, request.is_scheduler is true for functions reached by -K and false for functions reached by -S.

On Windows, 2.14.6 sets request.is_scheduler false for browser requests, at least when using Rocket.

That was a bug but should be fixed in web2py 2.15.

If you can't upgrade, as an alternative, see:

Ok that's the problem, I'm using a 2.14.6 release.

Thanks Anthony and others
