Writing Scheduled Tasks

A scheduled task in OpenMRS runs every so often and does tasks in the background.

Every task is run on a new thread.

Your class should extend AbstractTask

Authentication

As of 1.7.0 tasks are executed as the Daemon User. This gives them all privileges without having to use Context.addProxyPrivilege().
