I believe that there is something like crontab for windows...  If not, then 
you could write one in C or C++ or VB etc...

 From apache/mod_php, set a marker in a file, or in a db.

Every minute, or 5 minutes, or 15 minutes (you decide), your crontab 
equivalent will call a cgi/php script that checks for the marker in the 
file/db.  If the marker is there, then remove the marker, and generate the 
report.

Hope it helps.
