Poor mans crontab Zend Framework implementation?

I guess you mean Drupal's poormanscron module. The Zend Framework does not ship with anything like that and actually neither does Drupal but they have modules which are created and supported by the Drupal community.

You could write a Zend_Controller_Plugin that implements a dispatchLoopShutdown() method. I guess that'd be better than implementing $scheduler->run() in the Bootstrap-class. See http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.controller.plugins.html for details.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
