[Zope] Re. Scheduler product, anyone?

I had to do this just yesterday, and the urllib.py module made it absolutely
painless. Here's the simplistic little script I came up with, whcih could be
called by cron, or some other task manager.

"""
	urlgrabr.py is a simple script to hit an URL, 
	retreive the generated output, 
	and manipulate it, 
	e.g. save it as a file,
	
		python urlgrabr.py http://server/folder/object
file=filename.html
	
	based on parameters.
	
	Default is simply to request the URL, and exit, dumping all data.
