I have an asp.net update web app. Users go the the page, hit the update button and the program runs. We also want this program to run as a scheduled task everynight. Is this possible? How would you handle this?
thanks

You could create a shortcut on your program to a page on your web app (say update.aspx?command=update) and then have your server’s scheduler set to run that shortcut at the time you wish.
I would only recommend that you use a page which has nothing on it and will only respond to a specific command, that way you lower the risk of your page being ‘tripped’ when you don’t want it to be.
