Asp scripts and scheduler

Yes it is possible with a trick.

You can trigger whatever script you want, even if it is no local, with the following code in php:

if ($_GET['password']=='whatever')	{	
$CR = curl_init();					
curl_setopt($CR, CURLOPT_URL, "http://www.domain_name.com/what_ever_script.asp?parameter1=".$_GET['parameter1']);	
curl_setopt($CR, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_setopt($CR, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 60);
curl_setopt($CR, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($CR, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "parameter2=".$_GET['parameter2']);
curl_setopt($CR, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($CR, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
	
$result = curl_exec( $CR );
$error = curl_error( $CR );
	
if( !empty( $error )) {
curl_close( $CR );
echo 'Error:'.$error;
}
curl_close( $CR );
echo 'Ok:'.$result ;
}

Save the previous code as cronJob.php
At scheduler you define the following:

Script path:
c:\program files\swsoft\additional\php\php.exe
(or wherever the php.exe file at your plesk installation is...)

Parameters:
c:\full_server_path_to_file\cronJob.php password=whatever parameter1=value1 parameter2=value2part1+value2part2

Note that:
- Parameters are passed without being splitted with the & symbol (we use spaces instead), and each value must contain the + symbol in case of spaces
- php handles each parameter as a GET parameter
- you can pass parameters to the final script both through POST and GET methods.

CIao.
