There's a few problems with that - Let's say someone closes the window it's running in - then it's gone. Or let's say there's an error and it haults or Windows just messes up (Windows - mess up? - never!).
With the Scheduled Task option, you can add limits on how long it's going to run and other options. It's just a lot more stable. Not to mention that if you poorly write the PHP script - it will consume A LOT of memory! -Mike -----Original Message----- From: Svensson, B.A.T.

Why not simply loop forever and execute your task and sleep for 5 minutes inside the loop fore each iteration? Can't be that hard to write such a script. -- PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
