Bart,

have a look at the TaskKit subpart of WebWare
(http://webware.sourceforge.net/).

You can use it run periodic tasks.

Subject: Make a function call itself after set amount of time


How do I make a function call itself every 24 hours. Also, is there a
way to start the program automatically w/o depending on the OS functions
like 'Task Scheduler' or 'Start Up Items'... this is on Windows 2k and
xp. Below is an example of what I'm trying to do.

TIA

def ipconfig_email():
from email.MIMEText import MIMEText
import smtplib
import time
import os

u = "user name" #Change This to user's name.
f = "my-email-addy"
t = "my-email-addy"

fp0 = os.popen("ipconfig /all", "r")
fp1 = os.popen("psinfo -d -s", "rb")
msg = MIMEText(fp0.read() + fp1.read())
fp0.close()
fp1.close()

msg["Subject"] = "%s's IPconfig Report" % u
msg["From"] = f
msg["To"] = t

h = "my.smtp.server"
s = smtplib.SMTP(h)
s.sendmail(f, t, msg.as_string())
s.quit()
time.sleep(86400) #24 hour sleep
HOW_DO_I_CALL_THE_FUNCTION_AGAIN?

ipconfig_email()
