scheduler

[Alex Wagner]

I need to run/create reports a couple times a day via an aspx page. Does
anybody know of a code sample that would allow me to call an aspx page via
windows task scheduler?

thnx

Ive had good luck just setting the IE program name and URL as a
parameter as in Task Scheduler

C:\PROGRA~1\INTERN~1\IEXPLORE.EXE "www.domain.com/whatever.aspx"

This will leave the web browser open. Under settings, set a checkbox
to stop the task if it runs over X minutes. Mine is set to 5. I leave
the system that runs tasks up and running under a user account, so Im
not sure how / if this would work in a more strict "server"
environment.

There are also several web sites that allow you to run daily, monthly,
whatever web URLs. Most are reasonable cost. One or two are also free.
