As a side note, instead of putting it in a directory that anyone can access and run your scheduled tasks, why not set up a check to see if the IP is coming from the server. If it is, then bypass the logged in check.
This way, no separate directory and also prevents people from running it outside of your server. I use it myself and it works wonders. :) On Fri, Mar 11, 2011 at 6:59 PM, Scott Williams <[email protected]> wrote: > > Russ wins! > > That is indeed what was happening.
