Hi,

I have a php script on my local windows machine that I would like to run at scheduled times. When it runs I would like it to do so silently ie. in the background. I don't want browser windows and thnigs to be popping up because the machine will be getting used for other things as well.

What is the best way to achieve this?

I have wamp running on the machine.

Thanks!

in windows it is called "Scheduled Tasks".
for XP you can get there with Start/Programs/Accesories/System Tools

I thought about that but that causes a browser window to open when the task runs. Can this be avoided?

We had a recent thread in the Windows OS forum that dealt with this: running a cmd from scheduled tasks [webmasterworld.com]
