Re: Windows service - Nightly task

Thanks Nicholas.

Are there any reliability issues around windows services?

Arun,

This would be overkill.

What you should do is create a command line exe which will make the call
once, and then do whatever work you need it to do.

Then, create a scheduled task to run every night at 10 PM and have it
call your executable.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

I want to run a webservice method every night at a specified time, say
10pm.

The current way i thought of doing this is to have a windows service
and a timer which checks the time every minute and when it gets to
10:00 it fires off the webmethod.

Is this the best way to do it? If not, does anyone have any
suggestions?

Thanks,
Arun
