[TYPO3-mvc] Fluid/Extbase and long term operation

[Robert Schneider]

Just want to say thank you for your inspiration. I don't know if I will 
try to realize this. At least it's good to know about this quite 
reasonable approach.

Regards,
Robert

Then instruct the BE user to simply trigger a task you previously configured and told not to execute automatically (unless you also need that, it may make sense to schedule it given that you're importing things).
