I suppose it depends on how those things sleep. If that means "no hits for X amount of time" then I kinda doubt a scheduled task would get triggered if the app is spun down. Of course you could have a scheduled task that just hit your app in an increment necessary to keep the app from going to sleep, but then of course you lose the benefit of not paying for use when the app is spun down. If you want the thing up 24/7 regardless, I'd just have a scheduled task hit the app itself every so often to keep it from going to sleep, because I doubt once it's asleep a scheduled task would wake it up, let alone be run at the right time. Sounds like that warrants an experiment. -- Matthew Woodward [email protected] http://blog.mattwoodward.com identi.ca / Twitter: @mpwoodward Please do not send me proprietary file formats such as Word, PowerPoint, etc. as attachments. http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/no-word-attachments.html -- online documentation: http://openbd.org/manual/ google+ hints/tips: https://plus.google.com/115990347459711259462 http://groups.google.com/group/openbd?hl=en
