If I'm not mistaken, you can schedule iexplore.exe with a URL as a
parameter. So then, in effect, if the URL is an ASP/ASP.NET page that
accomplishes some desired task, then you can schedule the running of
page.
For example, choose "Run..." from the Start menu and enter the
following:
iexplore.exe http://www.cnn.com
So why not try:
iexplore.exe http://www.yourserver.com/sendanemail.asp
You would have to try it to see if it works, but I think it would. It's
kind of clunky, though. Really the proper way to accomplish this is to
schedule a program or script.
I suppose there might be a time when a person wishes to schedule a very
complex ASP page, and the code in that page is too complicated to turn
into a stand-alone executeable or script. In that case, for the sake of
efficiency, you could create a simple .NET program that hits the desired
URL, receives the response, and adds an entry to a log to verify the
results. This would only require about 10 lines of code.
Hope that helps.
