How to use Plesk for Windows Scheduler to call a particular ASP or ASP.NET script on your web site that will perform a function.
Steps:
1. Click on 'Scheduled Tasks' in Plesk
2. Click on 'Schedule New Task'
3. Enter a description and notification email if required
4. In the 'Path to executable file' field, enter the following path: C:\Windows\system32\cscript.exe
5. In the Arguments field enter the following: D:\Inetpub\vhosts\domain.com\httpdocs\schedule.vbs (replacing domain.com with your domain name)
6. cscript.exe won't execute an asp file, because of that we need to create a vbs script, that will then call the asp script. In the schedule.vbs script, we need to use the xmlhttp request to open a web page. Copy and paste the script below and save to a file called schedule.vbs and upload this to your site.
----------------------------
Call RunIt()
Sub RunIt()
Dim RequestObj
Dim URL
Set RequestObj = CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")
'Request URL...
URL = "http://domain.com/myScript.aspx"
'Open request and pass the URL
RequestObj.open "POST", URL , false
'Send Request
RequestObj.Send
'cleanup
Set RequestObj = Nothing
End Sub
---------------------------------------------
7. Now you can create your myscript.aspx page, or whatever you would like to name it to perform the tasks you require to be scheduled.
