Question

I have a website where I need to poll a webpage in every minute or so. The page on the server will perform different task. I am trying to use Windows Scheduled Tasks, but that cannot be set to run in every minute. I know that there is cron jobs for this on Linux, but that is not available on Windows.

Any ideas how to do this on Windows?

Was it helpful?

Solution

Try with windows service. It can be set to start when system is started up without the need for someone to log in. Also check this article http://www.codeproject.com/KB/dotnet/WindowsServiceScheduler.aspx

OTHER TIPS

The repeat interval drop-down goes down to 5 minutes here and I can easily type a 1 instead of the 5:

It gets this actually right, since when I click on OK, the description of the trigger reads:

Or maybe that was added to Windows 7 or Vista, but I doubt it, actually.
