Hi Kenny, you might want to look at java.util.Timer and java.util.TimerTask
public class Timer extends Object A facility for threads to schedule tasks for future execution in a background thread. Tasks may be scheduled for one-time execution, or for repeated execution at regular intervals. public abstract class TimerTask extends Object implements Runnable A task that can be scheduled for one-time or repeated execution by a Timer. Hope this helps, Dharmendra ps: have a nice day! -----Original Message----- From: A mailing list about Java Server Pages specification and reference [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Lai, Kenny Sent: Thursday, July 17, 2003 2:20 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: cron job/sceheduler in jsp/java i was looking for a way to do it in code, but thanks anyways -----Original Message----- From: Brian P Bohnet [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 17, 2003 2:07 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: cron job/sceheduler in jsp/java Look up how to call servlet from the command line and put the call in cron.
