Set up a scheduled job?

Question

Basically I just want to run through the dat

We've open-sourced what I think is a structured app. that Brian's solution above alludes too. We would love any / all feedback!

https://github.com/tivix/django-cron

It comes with one management command:

./manage.py runcrons

That does the job. Each cron is modeled as a class (so its all OO) and each cron runs at a different frequency and we make sure the same cron type doesn't run in parallel (in case crons themselves take longer time to run than their frequency!)
