I have been banging my head against the old crontab 
issue.  One reason I'm looking at crontab again is 
because the way our NT Admin has set up task scheduler 
causes a browser window to open on the server when it 
runs my taf files.  So if there is way to use the Task 
Scheduler to run a taf with out opening a browser 
window, great!  

In the meantime, here is the output from my tango.log
03/10/2002      21:28:46        0               
        [Cron] Sent http://localhost:80/cronmail.taf

and here is my textcron.txt

# Run this application file all the time (every minute)
* * * * * http://localhost/cronmail.taf

My test is a simple taf that just sends an email.  It is 
triggering the cron file every minute, but the taf is 
not getting executed.  Do I need the t4cgi.exe?

I tried that:  http://localhost/scripts/t4cgi.ext but 
IIS can't find scripts directory because it is not in 
the web root.  I moved it to the web root.  No luck.  
The manual was not clear on the cgi piece either.

I have tried every combination of ip/localhost/127.0.0.1 
and the taf fails to execute.  The server parses the 
crontab file on startup:  
[2752] Parsed 1 entries in crontab 
C:\Inetpub\scripts\testcron.txt

I have looked through all the past posts, and I seem to 
be doing everything correctly.  I have tried with a 
blank line at the end of the txt file, and no blank line 
with a carraige return at the end of the cron task.

Any advice would be most appreciated.
