how to cron on windows server?
Posted by waveking, 05-03-2007, 10:04 AM Hi, I truly love the 'cron' feature on Linux servers. This way I can schedule php scripts to do repetitive tasks on my website, but I plan to develop a asp.net website. Is this kind of scheduling scripts possible on Windows servers? Else how do I perform repetitive automatic tasks? It would be a shared hosting.

There are a few control panels which allow you to schedule jobs similar to cron. On a dedicated server head over to Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Scheduled Tasks and you should easily be able to add a job there.

Posted by maxknight, 05-08-2007, 09:01 AM See if your host supports NNCRON (http://www.nncron.ru/) which is similar to the CRON available in *NIX systems. Since it's shared hosting, you might have to ask your host to set the CRON jobs for you.
