Using Windows Task Scheduler to call or open a webpage URL

Asp.Net

You can use Task Scheduler to schedule calls to a webpage url every mins/hours/daily/month or other schedule time.

Steps:

1. Create a Visual Basic script:

Call CallUrl()
 
Sub CallUrl()
        On Error Resume Next
 
        Dim objRequest
        Dim URL
 
        Set objRequest = CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")
        URL = "http://www.andrew.sin.com/index.pl?doScheduler=1"
 
        objRequest.open "POST", URL , false
        objRequest.Send
        Set objRequest = Nothing
End Sub

2. Use Task Schedule to schedule call(s) to the vbs script, ie: run the vbs script at specified times.
