asp auto run each day - 8/16/2004 5:00:49   
Hi

I have an ASP page on an intranet (Win 2K) that collects stats from a large database.

Is there an easy way to run this "page" automatically once a day at 11PM?

The page does a self.close() but always comes up with a "Are you sure" warning. Which is a pain, can i get round that?


Cheers for any ideas.

I may be mistaken, but I don't believe an ASP script is going to run unless someone opens the page in their browser.

Might be wrong here...

YOu will need to set-up a server "active" cron-job. Basically a task that will kick in at the desired time...and it will work "silently". Nto sure how you would se it up, but a Cron-job is what will be needed.

Hi

yes i guess i can not run the ASP directly, I think i knew that.

The Cron stuff was interesting but i am on a windows intranet.
I have played with windows scheduler but it does not seem great, nor reliable.

I Guess as its a DB that i am updating I could look for a way of running the SQL, rather than ASP. If that makes things any easier.
And look at the VisualCron in the link above .

Cheers for the Help Guys.

Any other thoughts?

Dave

Look at either generating it from the database application, or simply kick it off when the first user after 11pm loads the page
