All- The cron facility in T2K can miss calls and crash (stop altogether), it is unreliable. This is, however, not the case with Witango 5. Anyone who is running Witango 5 can reliably use the built-in cron facility. My servers execute over 20 crons spanning from every minute to once a day, and they never miss a beat.
Should anyone find a cron configuration which repeatedly causes an error on your Witango 5 installation, you should send all information you can to WT.

We download and installed a third party cron service to run. We also downloaded a windows version of the *nix "wget" program to make the hitting of the url easy. I like this type of solution because It allows me to schedule anything URL or script. Email me off the list if you want more information about the programs we've used. Perhaps you would still be able to use windows scheduler with the wget facility. The machines I'm talking about were NT, so there wasn't a good scheduling facility. /John Witango wrote: >I want to be able to execute certain taf files every night. I am on a win 2K >server.
