scheduling a script

[Ward Germonpé]

Hi,

Is it possible to schedule a php script so that it runs every
5 minutes ?

I'm using W2K.

thx

I'm using W2K.

in the control panel, scheduled tasks-> add new scheduled task

I run a batch file with start commands for each script

start <window name> <path to browser> <url>

So you are using php interpreter/cgi ? I'm using ISAPI.

How about scheduling this every 5 minutes:

lynx localhost/script.php

would this work reliably ?
