Hi there
Thought I would share my findings for running CRON jobs on windows. Should help
those who want to run Eventum on Windows.
The ways I've found to run cron jobs:
1. Use Windows Schedule Task. (not that good)
2. Use a web based service:
a. http://www.cronjobs.org (ok but anything above 13 minutes and you
have to pay - very small amounts but it does work)
b. http://www.webcron.org (ok but limited to running cron jobs at
hourly intervals as the minimum)
3. Visualcron (http://www.visualcron.com/) GUI windows app - ok but I found it
difficult to get it work properly. Support non-existent - never received emails
to my queries. You may have better luck.
4. CRONw - (http://cronw.sourceforge.net/ &
http://sourceforge.net/projects/cronw/) Excellent - works and is configured like
a cron job on Unix. No Windows installer yet but will be released in v2.1.
Requires PERL to be installed (recommend ActiveStates Perl install).
Hope the above helps.
