I finally mmanaged to make my CronTask strating ; problem was due to a
bug in "scheduler/cron.py" (in line 59, it returns "next" but should
return "next - now") ; I can't correct this because I don't have any CVS
access...

But now I have to face another problem : tasks are executed outside of
any request or context environment ; because of this, components lookups
always fail !
So I'd like to know :
 - how can I handle transactions ?
 - how can I "simulate" a real request, so that components lookups work
correctly ?
 - as I use virtual hosting, my utilities are located and registered in
a "sub-site". How can I get access to these components in my scheduler
tasks throught zapi functions, without knowing "a priori" their names or
paths ?

Thanks,
