Thanks. I would think that being able to schedule jobs would fit nicely with having scheduled jobs persist after restart.

Subject: AW: Startup hooks or persisting jobs

Hi Kendall,

there is currently no way to do this using BaseX itself. But I also don’t think that should be the job of BaseX. Instead you can write a servlet and deploy it using Tomcat which runs some Java application, e.g. which could trigger some BaseXX command. See http://crunchify.com/how-to-run-java-program-automatically-on-tomcat-startup/ for an example how to do this.

Cheers

Dirk

Betreff: [basex-talk] Startup hooks or persisting jobs

Am I missing an existing way to run xquery at startup (basex web service running under tomcat)? I have jobs that I schedule, but I have to schedule them again if basex is shutdown.

I can test for basex being started outside of basex and then execute queries, but if there is already a way to do this within basex, I would rather do that.
