Hi Michael,

As far as I know not yet, I have however one idea that would work if you are
administrating the system yourself (it is not the best solution but a good
workaround till one is there).

As you may know, when you set up OpenCms there is a cmssetup.txt file which
is piped into OpenCms when you start it in the command line mode. My idea is
that you can create a project within OpenCms in the usual way and then use
your OS's scheduler (at or cron) to execute the command line version of
OpenCms at a given time and give as input a text file containing the
publishProject command (see the cmssetup.txt file for an example). The catch
is...you must get the project id first.

A lot of this could be automated externally to OpenCms using a script or
servlet servlet to tell it what to publish, extract the project id, when to
publish and it can then configure you at/cron job for you. If I get a chance
in the next couple of weeks I might give it ago...i would be happy if
someone beat me to though ;o)

Just an idea. Any one else?

Regards,

Simon Wilks
