Re: Time

Umm the obvious reply would be to go to download.com and browse to see if they have a shareware version of a cron like application, i am sure they do... i remember seeing some of those. Otherwise, code a simple php or c or delphi or visual basic app that only does while (1) sleep(60*60); exec('application') end Can't be that hard to write right? :) or even if you wanted it -on- every hour and not every hour, just do a if ( frac (time() / (60*60) ) == 0) { exec('application') } (ie if the dividable time / 'seconds in hour' has no fraction (behind the . or , depending on locality, its on the hour) I realy hope this wont become a windows support mailing list though, thats kinda outside of the scope of php-gtk? :) -- Chris Josh Seward wrote: > Hello, > > Is there a way to have php run a script at a certain time?
