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. -Jason Garber IonZoft.com At 12:00 PM 11/19/2001 +0800, Chris Lee wrote: >Dear John, > >Actually I need to generate an report which need an half an hour to >complete. >The MS Proxy Server time out for the long process, so I want to create the >report by following method: > >apache/mod_php -> call cgi/php -> email notify end user when completed. > >Regards, >Chris Lee > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: John Monfort [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > > Sent: Monday, November 19, 2001 11:38 AM > > To: Chris Lee > > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Subject: Re: [PHP] How to create and run background process at Win2K > > > > > > > > > > You can run the application as a SERVICE. > > Would that do the trick? > > > > > > __________John Monfort_________________ > > _+-----------------------------------+_ > > P E P I E D E S I G N S > > www.pepiedesigns.com > > "The world is waiting, are you ready?" > > -+___________________________________+- > > > > On Mon, 19 Nov 2001, Chris Lee wrote: > > > > > Hi, > > > > > > It is possible to create/run background process at Win2K / Apache > > > environment?
