Hi,

Is there anyway a script on my account could be setup to be run automatically, IE once every 10 minutes? I am on windows hosting, and want an ASP script to be run.

Only if you have a Unix account, with unix you can use the cron service to schedule "jobs", there is no such equivilent service on Windows.

There is an equivilent service on windows, task scheduler. Do you have access to that?

Sorry we do not provide access to the windows scheduler, so basically as I said only on a Unix account can you setup your own "cron". If you tell me what script you want regularly run I can look at putting it into a cron job on one of the unix machines for you.

OK, I will post the contents of the script here when I am done with it. Basically I want to run two ASP files, one looks at emails on the server, if its a certian email it puts the info in the database, and deletes the email. If its any other email it fowards it to me. Then I will have another script that goes thru the database and emails everyone that I put in the DB.

Just post the link to the script, all we'll do is set a "lynx -dump /dev/nul" or similar to call the page at whatever frequency you want.
