Dear All,

I need to send a set of Emails from my application (reminders) each month
1st. Is there anyway in ASP scripts to trigger an event to run
automatically? I have no dedicated server, so no DLLs or Scheduler scripts
can be used. Also adding the trigger script in the application object may
not send emails in time, as we have not enough visitors to that application.
Is there any way other than 'Clicking a Send button'?

Any support will be appritiated.

Warm Regards,
Benny

Can you use your computer to schedule an ASP page monthly?

I use Task Manager to execute an ASP page daily at 3:00 AM.

Do you mean through the server's browser?

We can use add the event in Windows scheduler, which will launch the emall
sending script.

Mostly this would be done only if you have a dedicated server.

What do your ASP pages run on if not a server?

I'm guessing he means he's using a third party host (can be a royal PITA in
cases where you have special requirements such as scheduled scripts etc)

Benny, your only option is to have a script or application running and
scheduled on your home computer, to connect and run, the script on your
server. However, because the URL would have to be in the public zone (i.e.
htdocs), your going to have to find a more secure way of doing whatever it
is your script is doing (should the URL ever become publicly known, your
going to be looking at the possibility of abuse .... not to mention some
seriously peeved mail recipients).

Why couldn't the script run automaticly on the first visit to your
/index.asp or on the first session_start after 3 o'clock in the morning?

A second running can easily be made impossibe.

It could do, but thats not entirely reliable .... (i.e. though unlikely,
what happens if no-one visits the page for a couple days?)

I have a visitors number of about 300 a day, so in my case that is
unlikely.

Sending a lot of emails from a site/an organisation no one visits and
wanting to do that every day, smells to me like a tin of spam.

However you could be the triggering visitor yourself in such a case.

hehe, I know it's highly unlikely that there'd be no visitors.... twas just
a sort of "just incase" type of thing ;o)
