RE: [cms-users] Scheduling Additions anyone?

[Lynn, M. (DCS) <ML...@ex...>]

Sorry - I should have explained further...

I run Linux architecture for Merrill Lynch in New York... we are implementing a Linux Web Hosting environment and have 3 distinct environments in production:

Staging, Quality Assurance (Testing), and Production.

"Promotion" is the act of moving code from Development into QA or from QA into Staging, or from Staging into Production.

I want to use your cms product to extend an interface to my clients.  This will give them a view of the code on the individual servers and allow them to "schedule" promotions of the files from one
environment to the next on the way to Production.

I can tar up what I have so far and send it to you so you can review it.  I think it's about 50% there. 

Right now, it simply creates a <filename>.schedule file in the file system.  The format is RECURRINGTYPE:minute:hour:day:month:year.  If the Recurring type is either of once, daily, etc.

I don't know yet how I will indicate the last promotion that has occurred, perhaps that will be in the same .schedule file - or maybe create a new .schedule_done file or something - thoughts?

The remaining work to be done is to code the skulker program that will 

I must tell you I find the work you've done to be a fantastic peice of work.  It is very logically coded - Nice Job!

Hiya,

What do you mean exactly by "promote" ? And the scheduling, will it be done
through crontab or through accesses?

Going through the filesystem is an interesting feature. Can you make it so
that it can be used for other uses? Like looking for a specific extension
(much like .schedule files) and return a hash with path and the content of
the given file. I'm sure it could end up being useful in the future.

Tell me how your development works out. I'll try and have CVS up soon.
