Rob,
We use a little ditty named HOLDIT.EXE, and I'm sure there are others around, that basically waste a specified amount of time at idle priority. Useful in batch files for unattended processes. I'd do something like this:
:top
rem wait five minutes
holdit 300
rem errorlevel 255 is [esc] keypress
if errorlevel 250 exit
if exist [ftp path\*.*] goto import
goto top
:import
rem here create an R:Base command line with a specified .DAT file that runs an R:Base command file to
rem do a gateway import
rbg65.exe -r -o:[config] [.dat file to execute]
goto top

I'm looking for recommendations on how to accomplish a scheduled, un-attended================================================ TO SEE MESSAGE POSTING GUIDELINES: Send a plain text email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the message body, put just two words: INTRO rbase-l ================================================ TO UNSUBSCRIBE: send a plain text email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the message body, put just two words: UNSUBSCRIBE rbase-l ================================================ TO SEARCH ARCHIVES: http://www.mail-archive.com/rbase-l%40sonetmail.com/
import of individual .CSV files that are sent (via FTP) to a web-server running
Tango applications.
Is there any special scheduling software that needs to be running on the server
that will fire-off an R:base command file that will perform the import?
I'm a little confused with what is actually needed when it comes to databases
residing on web-servers.
TIA
