Re: Trigger actions independently of url request

I'm far from being an expert but I think yours is a rather simple operation that needs to be executed every n minutes.

I think that in the case you're explaining, Celery is an overkill. Why not go with a cron job?

You might want to create a combination of bash and python scripts to do exactly what you need but you'll have a whole lot less headaches.

Hi,

After reading the Django tutorial, my understanding (I hope I'm wrong) is that the only way to trigger a function of a Django app is when someone on the client side request the url related to that function.

But what if I want the server to run a function indenpendently of a url call, for example:
- every 10 minutes
- when a pre-defined combination of variables become true

Where should such code live?

Thank you.
Best regards,
Charley
