There are a couple of ways to schedule jobs in Win2k. First off, there is a 'task scheduler' available from the windows explorer. Just schedule a job every two minutes to run the node.start script. There are also a number of freeware cron utilities available for win32 if you look around on the internet. You might have better luck with one of those, since the built-in task scheduler is a bit limited in functionality.

Ok stupid question... the file name is "node-start". You will notice there is no file extension. I understand this isn't a binary file and by the looks of it, it would seem to be a PHP file. So when I run "php node-start" I get "No input file specified". I know how to use the Task Scheduler, but I don't know what CLI to use that will make this "node-start" function properly.

Hia,
I looked at he script, and it looks very cool to me,,
Question:
On win32, how do you do the cron job? <- ( i haven't installed it yet)
meaning, how does the script run his job every 2 mins on win2k?
Thanks for any Reply.
