Re: Crontab for Windows

On W3K you could use this as the run line in
Scheduled Tasks and probably the same in XP
although I have not tested this. The same
components exist in the W2K version although
may be in different locations/names.

Run: cmd /c "c:\php\php.exe -q c:\path\to\php\file.php"

Start in: C:\path\to\php\file\

Run as: username/pass with security acess to
both php.exe and the file.php

YMMV

Hi,

I am trying to schedule the running of some PHP scripts on my Win2K PC at home.

On my live server I use Linux, so am fully familiar with Crontab. I am not that familiar with running scripts using the scheduler in Win2K though.

So far what I have is:

C:\php\php.exe -q c:\path\to\php\file.php

what happens if you quote everything?:

"C:\php\php.exe" "-q" "c:\path\to\php\file.php"


But this doesn't seem to do anything..the task manager in the windows scheduler just keeps saying that the task has not been run.


Any suggestions?

Also, one thing I would like my script to do is to send out an email, but I don't have a mail server set up on my home PC..is there anyway to run a script from a server on a different machine, using Windows scheduler, and if so, what form would the 'path' to the file/server take?

Many thanks
Alexis
