RE: [PHP] How to create and run background process at Win2K

I believe that there is something like crontab for windows... If not, then you could write one in C or C++ or VB etc... From apache/mod_php, set a marker in a file, or in a db. Every minute, or 5 minutes, or 15 minutes (you decide), your crontab equivalent will call a cgi/php script that checks for the marker in the file/db. If the marker is there, then remove the marker, and generate the report. Hope it helps. -Jason Garber IonZoft.com At 12:00 PM 11/19/2001 +0800, Chris Lee wrote:

Dear John, Actually I need to generate an report which need an half an hour to complete. The MS Proxy Server time out for the long process, so I want to create the report by following method: apache/mod_php -> call cgi/php -> email notify end user when completed.
