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
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
