silly question: cron jobs

[Oliver Henniges]

I want to automate various tasks of the wamp-installation in my intranet: For example to regularly fetch new orders from the webserver.

What is the easiest way to do so? The only programming-language I concentrated on, is php and I missed those times when people used to write batch-files for windows;) I looked at the windows task manager, but that doesn't seem to work every five minutes or so.

Yes, you can use Windows Scheduled Tasks and modify the Schedule by using the tab of the same name in the properties of that task. Now just invoke your script by Using PHP from the command line [php.net].
