Re: Running a PHP script everyday

If you're on Windows, use Task Manager and have it start an instance of a web browser, with your URL and script passed to it. or Cron job on server, if you have that level of access. Miles At 01:17 PM 7/30/2005, sub@pudlz.com wrote:

I have a PHP script that I need to run once a day. I have it currently setup so that I just run it from my cell phone, but I would prefer something automated. I'd looked into a cron job, but that just looks like it's for doing linux command line stuff on my host. I also thought about writing a never ending while loop with an if statement that checks to see if it's time to run the script, then when it is time, it runs. Then checks to see if it's time again. But even assuming I could get it working, do I really want to have a PHP script that runs all the time. This could be bad if it ate up all the CPU on my server. I'm not even sure I have access rights to kill the process once I start it. Any suggestions? Andrew Darrow Kronos1 Productions www.pudlz.com
