Shared worker

[Gael Princivalle]

Hello.

I've five applications in the same web2py installation.

For each of these applications I have a set a worker that run task in the scheduler.

These tasks run one time per day (database csv backup and sitemap).

Is there a way to use one unique worker for these 5 applications?

I would like to have less running processes on the server.

Thanks, regards.

To reduce load?  I'd just slew that start time for each, by double the time a csv dump takes.  That's a problem if it takes hours, but then in that case you may want to have the DB engine tools handle backup instead.

no probl at all. the scheduler happily processes tasks from whatever app is available. it just needs to be defined in one (and , of course, you need to use a unique db for the scheduler throughout your apps)
