Hi everyone,

I am looking for a way to call a method (preferably an @api.model method but other ways are possible too) automatically after every Odoo startup. I need to establish a connection to an external service whenever Odoo starts but am not sure how to go about it. 

Things I tried unsuccessfully:

- using a post_init_hook: not possible because it is only called on module updates/installation despite the name

- using a post_load hook: undocumented so I would like to avoid that one but it also does not get the cr or env passed so I am not sure if it is even possible to access it from there

- running stuff directly from the module __init__.py: does run everytime but also has no access (as far as I can tell) to the env yet

Is there a mechanism in Odoo to call stuff inside the current env (as superuser) after a Odoo started?

Thanks in advance and have a great day
Eric
