Why wouldn't you use the Task Scheduler? You could always do something like: `while (1) { # your script goes here. sleep 86400; }` [download] But that would be a bit silly. Use the Task Scheduler - that's what it is for. Or, you could look at Cron for Windows. Or maybe CronW, which appears to be a Perl implementation of the same. Dude - spend 1 minute Googling. It doesn't bite ;)	[reply] [d/l]
