5.8 sched -- Event scheduler
Actually chapter 6.12 in the 2.4.4 manuals.

Sorry, i should have been more precise - The problem is with making the event repeat at REGULAR INTERVALS, i.e every day, every week etc...

It's easy to start a recurring python sched function, but difficult to stop.

Here is a multi-threaded example.

NOTE TO BVDet: ASPN turns out to be (in my view) a permissible link. Please feel free to refer to their cookbook solutions.

Which OS are you on? If it's a *nix, that's easy using cron. See man cron.
