Cron Job -> Taskplanner??

[Anon]

Hey, I was wondering...

Is it possible to run a php script on a localhost using internet explorer on a given time (every weekday at 12:30 for instance).

It's a win2k machine, else I could have used a cron job...

I've tried to run the following thing with taskplanner, but it doesn't work!

"http://localhost/public/stoptijd.php?id=pauze"

start in Internet Explorer...

But when I change the time to 12:30, it doesn't do anything (I've also set the dat according to the next time the program will run).

but it just won't work! Can somebody please help me (I've tried to run it on Win 98 SE, since I don't have 2k here, but I don't think it will be that different)

oops, Now I see there's also a windows forum... hmm

One point to remember with windows is that if you system is idle a job may not run. I have norton antivirus scheduled to do a sweep in the wee hours of each morning, but it never runs because even the PCs are asleep.

Check out the 'at' command for Windoze.

Open up a command prompt (dos window) and type 'help at'.
