Question

How to open an html file using the default file handler and to give the window a name (i.e. target)?

Answer 1

+1 A:

Have you considered using wget to touch those web pages instead?

http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/

Using wget could be as simple as replacing your "start" command with:

wget http://srv
wget http://srv:12345/default.aspx
wget http://srv/de/Seiten/Favoriten.aspx
wget http://srv/de/Seiten/Benutzeranweisungen.aspx

Answer 2

A:

My solution is to create a simple web site outside of SharePoint and stuff the html file there. I can call it and JS is allowed.

It would still interest me to hear of any other solutions though...

Here is my code:

warmup.cmd:

date /t >> warmuplog.txt
time /t >> warmuplog.txt
echo Start warmup >> warmuplog.txt
"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\BIN\stsadm.exe"
start http://srv:22222/warmup/WarmUpPages.html
date /t >> warmuplog.txt
time /t >> warmuplog.txt
echo End warmup >> warmuplog.txt

warmuppages.html

<html>
<body>
<b>Portal root</b>
<iframe src="http://srv" width="100%" height="100px"></iframe>
<b>Central admin</b>
<iframe src="http://srv:12345/default.aspx" width="100%" height="100px"></iframe>
<b>Favorites</b>
<iframe src="http://srv/de/Seiten/Favoriten.aspx" width="100%"     height="100px"></iframe>
<b>User docs</b>
<iframe src="http://srv/de/Seiten/Benutzeranweisungen.aspx" width="100%"     height="100px"></iframe>
<script type="text/javascript">
    window.setTimeout("bye()", 120000);

function bye() {
  window.open('','_self','');
  window.close();
}
</script>
</body></html>

Opening a browser window is a massive resource overhead just to touch a URI. There are many easy alternatives such as wget or curl that you can put into a small cmd file (batch script).
