Cron job and EasyPHP

Question

Hi,

I'm using EasyPHP (my OS = Windows XP) and I've wroten an little php-script that should update my database every hour while server is up.

I could include the script into the index.php but then it would only be executed when there is activity on the site.

How can I configure EasyPHP or Cygwin to execute my cron job ?

thx

Answer 1

If its possible to have cron under cygwin then that would be one way.

Another popular way under ms windows is using the scheduler: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308569
