Scheduled Task Manager

Winhost > Control Panel > Tools and utilities
The Scheduled Task Manager is a premium feature, and only available for sites on the Ultimate and Power plan.

The Scheduled Task Manager allows you to schedule the web server to make a call to a specific file at certain predetermined intervals. Those intervals are:
  • Every 15 minutes
  • Every hour
  • Every 3 hours
  • Every 6 hours
  • Every 12 hours
  • Every day
  • Every week
  • Every month
 
So if you have a script on your site that you run every day or every week to send email, perform site maintenance, etc., you can use this tool to run the script automatically.  You are allowed 2 scheduled jobs for each site account.

 
Simply complete the fields in the Scheduled Tasks tab to start your scheduled task.

Enabled - Check this box activate the task as soon as you submit the form. If you wish to stop a task temporarily, click the "Edit" link for an existing task and uncheck this box.

Task Name - A descriptive name used to identify the task.

URL - Select the domain you wish to use to access the file from the dropdown list, and enter the file name in the field that follows the domain.

Interval - Select the interval that you wish to use; daily, weekly, etc.

Start Date - Enter the date you wish the task to begin running in MM/DD/YYYY format. Select the time you would like the task to be executed. You may choose any hour of the day in 15 minute increments. Note that scheduling a task to run at 10:45 does not mean the task will run at exactly 10:45. Scheduled tasks are run in a batch on the server, so depending on how many tasks are in the batch, where your task is in the batch and how long the batch takes to run, there may be a delay between your selected time and the time the task is actually executed.

End Date (optional) - Enter the date you wish the task to stop running in MM/DD/YYYY format.

Username - If the URL is password protected, enter the appropriate username here.

Password - If the URL is password protected, enter the appropriate password here.
