Scheduled email to task owner

Hi all,

I need to send an email to the task owner based on a date entered in the DCT, (uploaded from a .CSV file through a CGI-callout.)

I can format and make a call to a mail script from the template but how do I schedule the email to go out at a future date?

Thanks in advance!

If you're on Unix, you can use the "at" command (check out 'man at')

If you're on Windows, you can upgrade to Unix and then you can use the "at" command.

Or if you are running Win2k, you can skip the Unix upgrade and run the "AT" command. Check out 'at /?' for all the lovely specifics.

Thanks to you both.

Fortunately it is already running on a Unix server, so I didn't have to go to the effort of upgrading.

The 'at' job ran fine, (though it's interesting to note that that 'at' can't take as it's command a path to a script, (so I gave it a path to a file with a path to the script.)

Anyway,.. Thanks again
Terry.
