Hi,
I would like to execute some vb code at regular intervals.
But according to my hosting provider, I wouldn't be able to do it in a shared hosting environment.
So, I would like to know, as to what my options are in that case.
Thanks,
Gomzi.

What can you do on your server?
You might be able to get away with writing your own 'cron' program.

Well, quite many things I guess.
Can you tell me as to what might be required for scheduling tasks?
Because since its a shared one, I clearly don't have access to either cron or windows scheduler.
Thanks,
Gomzi.

Well, first off, what kind of hosting is it? Is it a web hosting project or a shell host or some other type of host?
Do you have shell access? VNC/RDP access?

Am using the shared hosting account for hosting my website.(Hope you asked me that only!).
No. I don't have a shell access. Not sure of what VNC OR RDP are. But haven't come across anything of that sort on the control panel of my hosting account.

What web-hosting technologies does your host support? ASP, JSP, PHP, MSSQL, MySQL, PostgreSQL? What is your site programmed in? Is this a Windows or Unix host?

Well, my website has been developed using .net 2.0
the site is hosted on a shared windows hosting account.
i am using mysql as the database.
I had also talked to them. They said that in a shared hosting account i don't have access to the scheduler(windo ws), and if i need access to the cron, they i will have to go for the linux account. But, they also said that in a linux account my site wouldn't run since its developed in .net. Strange! Don't know what they expect me to do!!? May be switch over to a dedicated server?? maybe.
So, do I have any options?

Your other options will depend on what you need to accomplish. A lot of people think that they need to have a process executed at specific intervals, when in reality it can be faked quite easily.
Would you care to elaborate on your needs?

okay. sure.
Here's what I want to accomplish...
My website reads RSS and Atom feeds. As of now, I have to update the feeds at regular intervals manually by going to the admin section of my site. So, I thought that if I could automate that procedure, then I wouldn't have to worry about the updation taking place properly.

Hi,
I have an auction site running. Now I want the auction to be able to
automatically send a mail msg to the seller after it expires. How do I do
it? Obviously there is some sort of way that I can employ so that this task
does not require an operator (such as me) to run manually. This task will
involve accessing the database and sending an email. Can somebody enlighten
me on this?

I just wanted to let you all know that our script scheduling service at
www.cronservice.co.uk has been rewritten from the ground up and is now
better than ever. If you are looking for a way to schedule your ASP
scripts and don't have access to cron or task scheduler then you need
this service.

I am interested in finding out how DB2 DBAs automate tasks/jobs in

What platform do you run DB2 on (Unix, Linux, Mainframe, Windows)?
If you currently have a solution, what product do you use?
Do you see Job Scheduling as a DBA's responsbility?
Do you consider database monitoring/health as a DBA's responsibility?

Hi,
In our application we need to have a high performance scheduling framework.
We want to be able to say for item 21 do an update on such and such time. We
will have around 1 million items of this kind with different scheduling

be once every 2 weeks.
Does anyone has any suggestion how to tackle this problem? Oh and one of the

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
