Re: Cron jobs

[Martha Driscoll <driscoll@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Laura,
We have a few Expect scripts available on our swap shop that you can look 
at.  These scripts automate the process of running review files.  The 
scripts can be launched by cron from a Unix machine.  

The scripts are available at:
  http://www.noblenet.org/swapshop/expect.htm

You can also create review files using the scripting language that is 
built into most telnet applications.  You could then use the Windows Task 
Scheduler to launch the scripts.  If you don't have Unix expertise, this 
may be the way to go.

We have some QVT telnet scripts on the swapshop as well at:
  http://www.noblenet.org/swapshop/qvt.htm
