would be much easier to answer this question if we knew what OS is running MYSQL. I use linux and use cron for most MYSQL stuff. My pc is NT and for that I use AT. for win2k Professional, I believe there is a graphical version of AT. bill -----Original Message----- From: Christian Sage [mailto:csage@capita.de] Sent: Wednesday, November 07, 2001 3:23 PM To: harpreet@crispincorp.com Cc: 'Mysql List'; php-db@lists.php.net; Bill Adams Subject: AW: JOBS in mysql Hi, > Harpreet wrote: > > > I have run JOBs in sql server and was wondering if we have ne thign similar > > in mysql or use PHP to write a script that would automatically run every 10 > > minutes. > > Unix has cron: 'man crontab' > > I think Win2k has it included.

You could also achieve the desired result using 'at', I guess, but the action list would become a pain to maintain, and it would also be a serious abuse of the utility (IMHO, that is). Your best bet is probably to hunt around for a freeware utility. There's bound to be something somewhere on the net.
