appypod-rattail/bin/job.py

'''job.py must be executed by a "zopectl run" command and, as single arg,
   must get a string with the following format:

    <ZopeAdmin><PloneInstancePath>:<ApplicationName>:<ToolMethodName>[:<args>].

     <ZopeAdmin> is the userName of the Zope administrator for this instance.
     <PloneInstancePath> is the path, within Zope, to the Plone Site object (if
                         not at the root of the Zope hierarchy, use '/' as
                         folder separator);

     <ApplicationName> is the name of the Appy application;

     <ToolMethodName> is the name of the method to call on the tool in this
                      Appy application;

     <args> (optional) are the arguments to give to this method (only strings
            are supported). Several arguments must be separated by '*'.'''
