Google App Engine & cron jobs
04/11/2008 // 3 comments // Category: My Everything // Thẻ: appengine, cron, gae, google app engine, jobs, programming, python.I decided to try Google App Engine for a personal project, that pulls yahoo weather at a regular time interval, but as I dived into Google App Engine then this simple thing can not be done in cron jobs, so I started to think about the solution, here is what I came up with, just the idea:
- Create a Cronjob class to handle the cronjob: this class will do the all the tasks that need to be done regularly
- Use javascript at client side to refresh the Cronjob page at a regular time interval.
I think the idea is simple, it does solve the problem but require you to have the page opened all the time. Some of you may have better idea?

Well.. if you have access to some server where cron runs, just create some cron tasks to download pages from *.appspot.com/cron and it should run the script
Problem could be timeout.
Beter solution is if google would create some cron job site for appspot, but i havent seen such site yet.
