asp_web_howto thread: Is it possible to trigger things on a timer?


Message #1 by "Cecil Westerhoff" <cwesterh@w...> on Sun, 12 May 2002 15:27:53
I would like to send a message to a user on a certain time if this user 
is online and if he is not online send him an email. Is this possible? 
Because untill know I only see how to do things responding to a request.

There are various timer options on the server such as the AT command or a 
CRON job that you can arrange to run at a certain time.
