Integration with Google App Engine scheduler

Grr. botched the link. It's http://schedulerservice.appspot.com/

Here it is as a separate module called gaecron. In this form, if a user were to enable it in addition to the existing poormanscron, the gaecron would get triggered by a page load, and print out the auth code in the middle of a normal html page. So, we could put lots of warnings about not enabling them both together, or we could mod the existing poormanscron and put an exception so it wouldn't invoke gaecron.

@Uwe, I'd like to hear your thoughts about packaging this with your module. Good idea? Not worth your time? I only wrote this because:

1. I didn't read very closely how your module worked. I thought it counted page loads and wanted something more time oriented
2. I wanted to go through a simple module development for my own education.

Minor mods after running the coder module...

Just curious who's maintianing this module. I see releases from Uwe, Rob Loach, and ax, but kiam and gpk

Happy for feedback from any of you.

Fixed .info file so shows up as part of poomanscron.

Thanks. I hadn't noticed that before.

I think you'd want some additional logic to prevent the output if the cron.php if it was triggered by a user page load. I'd be afraid of writing the code out in the middle of a user's page view.

I guess I didn't really answer you first question. Yes. the scheduler will request the page the first time but if it gets a successful page load without its confirmation code, it will disable future page request until you go back and re-enable it.

I guess this is sort of an alternative to the current method, though it does introduce an external dependency. I just didn't want to throw out a separate module and cause confusion.

Just checking on if this should be a)merged in poormanscron, b) separate module, c) dropped from lack of interest.

No rush, I'm actually a bit busy now, but I stumble on it again once in a while.
