how to auto start a scriptcase application

I have the need to trigger an update to a table or a query to extract data after woking hours however, it is a daily task that needs to be kicked off say about midnight every night, I have heard of using a “cron job” but am not familiar with this. is there a way to start a scriptcase aplication automatcally somehow, thank you in advance.

Sorry I forgot to specify that I am on a Windows Server.

Hi, as far as i can tell, there is not a such thing in scriptcase. I’ve done it many times building a blank application with the query to update the table. Is important to doit in the scriptcase environment, rather a standalone php app, to use the same sql connection credentials. The app must have no login required.

In windows, you must put a new task in the task manager. There you can call the app, to “do the laundry”

Thank you for the reply. I figure I had to do something on window I believe is under Task Scheduler. I will get to know how this works now, thank you again Jomscl…
