    Hi,

    I will be using DiscountASP 'Scheduled Task' for my site. However, I'd like to test out what happens during development.

    So how can I acheive the same thing on my Windows box? I can use the built inWindows 'Scheduled Tasks' to trigger IE, Firefox or Opera every x minutes. However, in each case, rather than a page refresh I get a new instance of the browser opening. After a day I end up with many tens of browser windows open.

    So... how can I simply refresh an open page from the Command Line rather than open a new one?

    Any thoughts much appreciated...

    Thanks

    You probably need to write a simple .net console application to make an http call and schedule it.

    Thanks for the reply. Well, I've been a pure ASP.net man up until now but this would be a welcome diversion so I'll give that a go.


    Is this what you're doing with DiscountASP?

    In a nutshell, yes. But our tool is setup as a windows service.
