Creating Scheduled Task File

[Kirk Y]

I noticed that there weren't any tutorials written for creating just a basic cron file. So, perhaps someone wouldn't mind writing one or helping me out with what I'm trying to do. I need to update an array of users in an sql table and set a specific column to a certain value.

Is it as simple as writing an UPDATE query in the file and leave it at that?

Thanks if anyone has some ideas.

Take a look in my Cron based e-mail queuing and sending hack - the cron file in there is about as basic as you can get.

You just need put a standard bit of vb sql code in it instead of the mailqueue stuff.

Thanks Paul, I've got it working now.
