I have 4 urls (for 4 websites) on my IIS 6 server that I need to run daily (say at midnight), to process some database stuff.

The urls I want to run are like:

http://myserver1.com/path-to-script/filename?parameters

What is the best way to accomplish this on a windows/.net system. In linux I would just create a simple cronjob.

  • See [What is the Windows version of cron](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/132971/what-is-the-windows-version-of-cron). You could schedule a [Wget](http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/wget.htm) of those URLS. I also recommend looking at [Autohotkey](http://www.autohotkey.com) which I use for stuff like your request. – 576i Aug 14 '13 at 20:01
  • Is there any other way without using Wget? – cdub Aug 14 '13 at 21:32
  • You need something that can load a http page. if you run a web browser that is already installed, you are stuck with an open browser page. Autohotkey (as I recommended above) can load a page with the `UrlDownloadToFile, URL, Filename` command, so you wouldn't need wget. – 576i Aug 15 '13 at 06:42
  • I am going to try and use TinyGet which comes with IIS 6 resources – cdub Aug 15 '13 at 18:14
