Time of Day server side .asp file - 3/15/2008 6:22:58
Gurus,
Anyone point me at a way of running a .asp file on my web server at a particular time of day to do some odds & sods of housekeeping routines?
TIA
Cheers
Bernie

If you have access to the server console, an Automated Task works well often. If not, what kind of DB are you running? SQL server has timed triggers.
Unfortunately ASP (and HTML for that matter) are 'stateless' in the sense that you can't easily tell them to do something at a specific time. They are re-active and not active.
Having said that, maybe you can give more particulars. If the scripts are not too heavy-duty, I've frequently just set a date field in a database and ran my 'housekeeping' scripts upon first use of a page each day.
If you have something that must run every day and/or must run at a specific time, that is usually unacceptable. Tell us more and we may be able to help.
