Title: Creating Scheduled Tasks
Post by: Leo.Prince on November 03, 2013, 09:42:27 pm
Hi,

Scheduled tasks are very essential for the well functioning of a server as it has plenty of applications in the real time web-hosting disciplines. You can follow these steps to create a scheduled task in WSP. The scheduled tasks are such as

1, Database backup

2, Checking web site availability

3, Sending e-mail notifications

4, Zipping hosting space files

To see hosting space scheduled tasks click “Scheduled Tasks” link on hosting space left navigation menu

To create a new scheduled task click “Add Scheduled Task” button:

Specify task name then select its type from task type dropdown. You will see parameters list for the selected type.

Specify task parameters, then specify schedule and finally select execution options such as priority and maximum execution time. Click “Save” button to add a task

Here we used the task name as "Zip space files"
