SirChick Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 Is there a way to run and test crons offline using local host cos i don't want to buy a server just to test them ... any one know of any offline programs that can do this? At the moment my php scripts are on an apache local host.... Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/70264-crons/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
rarebit Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 How do you mean, run a page which manages stuff, or setup an entry in a cron program? (cron = chronological) P.S. will your server be running on a Windows platform of Linux?

SirChick Posted September 22, 2007 Author Share Posted September 22, 2007 yeah i used this last time but doesn't seem to work. I dont think it was written for vista as its totally different on vista so i have no idea how to do it on the new OS Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/70264-crons/#findComment-352894 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rarebit Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 The program has always (and prolly will always) been called 'Task Scheduler'... http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windowsvista/aa906020.aspx http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb264558.aspx Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/70264-crons/#findComment-352898 Share on other sites More sharing options...
