I have a task that needs to run every other Thursday. Since the scheduled task administrator does not have bi-weekly option, I'm expecting I will run it every week and then have logic on the page determine if this is an "on" week or an "off" week.
My question is how you all would tackle this. I have a couple different ideas, and I am having a hard time settling on one I like. Idea 1: A flag that flips back and forth, but will need some method to persist the flag through system restarts and such. Seems a bit overkill to create a database or file just to store single binary 0|1 value. Idea 2: Process the date to determine if the task should run this week, but how? Idea 2a: Could I use the week() function? But I don't think the task will always run on even or odd weeks every year, would it? But if not this, what characteristic of a date would determine which week to run the code. I have a 'start' date if that helps. -------------- Ian Skinner Web Programmer BloodSource www.BloodSource.org Sacramento, CA --------- | 1 | | --------- Binary Soduko | | | --------- "C code.
