[Koha-devel] Bug 1993 - Task Scheduler Needs Re-write

[Mark Tompsett]

Greetings,

I think Galen's idea is probably a good way to do it. When attempting to 
install Koha on non-Debian OS', 'at' was one of the sticky points, if I 
recall correctly.

GPML,

Hi,

Comments in bug 1993 state that using 'at' for task scheduling is bad
for security.

Galen suggests (comment 34) to use a DB table to store a list of jobs,
and check periodically this list with a script in crontab.

I would like to know if someone is already working on something like
that (I didn't find anything in Bugzilla).
If not, do you agree with Galen's proposal as a replacement for the task
scheduler ? Do you have better ideas ?
