WampServer

Is it possible to schedule CRON jobs?
If so, how?

I got this from www.hotscripts.com

The only thing that's certain to happen quite regularly on a web page are page requests. This is where pseudo-cron comes into play: With every page request it checks if any cron jobs should have been run since the previous request. If there are, they are run and logged. pseudo-cron uses a syntax very much like the Unix cron's one. All job definitions are made in a text file on the server with a user-definable name (usually crontab.txt). An extensive logging facility is also included for logging job results, and you may choose to receive emails with the job results.




I hope its what your looking for

Nope, looking for the real CRON to use with WAMP

You just need to use the windows 'plannified tasks' (it's called 'tâches planifiées' in french, i don't know the real translation)located in accesorries/system in the windows menu. You can like create a batch file (myfile.bat') with this in it :

c:/wamp/php/php-win.exe yourscript.php

Then just lauch this batch with the plannified tasks.

i searched the forums and found some threads that showed how to set up a cron job on windows. I'm trying to run the send_reminders.php from a webcalendar program. however, when i set up a cron as a scheduled task as shown in these forums:

1. Create a .bat file
2. insert the line c:\wamp\php\php c:\wamp\www\webcalendar\tools\send_reminders.php
3. save and set as a sheduled task

whenever it runs i get this: C:\wamp\www>C:\wamp\PHP\php c:\wamp\www\webcalendar\tools\send_reminders.php

Warning: require_once(../includes/classes/WebCalendar.class): failed to open str

can anyone help??

figured it out, just used [www.visualcron.com] and put the task in as an HTTP task with option to post
