The only reason I continue to use an alternative cron facility is that
we have more than just taf files to execute. I can also call other
scripts on the machine to do things unrelated to the Web or Witango server.

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.

Subject: Re: Witango-Talk: Crons
Witango has a built in Cron facility, but that has never been reliable
for us. 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.

I want to be able to execute certain taf files every night. I am on a

accomplished? I tried using the windows scheduler. Not very practical.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
