running vbscript from task manager 1

Hi,

I am interested in writing a script that is called once a week. Can I do this with vbscript?

Thanks,
Eric

Here is what another member had to say about that once. (I forget who it was, or I'd give credit)

You could use at to schedule wget (you can get it as part of cygwin or do a web search for it) to open the page every day.

Your page would handle any notifications as above. It would run as normal from the wget session. You could actually response.write the results to the page, and wget would save the current results in the file it retrieves since it would save the output.

That is the only way I could think to execute .ASP code on a scheduled basis without A) keeping a browser open at all times and B) using an enormous amount of CPU time idleing in a loop for 23 hours and 59 minutes each day

hope that helps.

Thanks Paul. That is just what I needed.
