We can set up Scheduled Tasks in Plesk by doing the following:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Log into Plesk<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The user you are logging in with should have enough permissions to create a scheduled task. Windows Shared customers automatically have permission, and the Admin user for Windows Dedicated Servers automatically have permission. Additional users created by the Admin on a Windows Dedicated Server may or may not have permission to set up scheduled tasks, depending on what permissions you give them.<\/p>\n
- \n
- Click on the Websites & Domains tab.<\/li>\n
- Click on Show Advanced Operations (a small grey link in the middle of the page), if the advanced options are not already shown.<\/li>\n
- Click on Scheduled Tasks.<\/li>\n
- Select the appropriate system user.<\/li>\n
- Click on Schedule New Task.<\/li>\n
- Fill out the form as follows:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
>>Switched On<\/strong>: Check the box to turn on the scheduled task.<\/p>\n
>>Description<\/strong>: A short description to remind you what this scheduled task does.<\/p>\n
>>Scheduler Notification<\/strong>: If you want an email every time this runs, select the appropriate option, otherwise select Do Not Send. You may provide an email address where you want the notifications sent to.<\/p>\n
>>Path to the executable file<\/strong>: Specify the path to the file you wish to execute. For Windows servers, it would be something like this for PHP
\nC:\\Program Files (x86)\\Parallels\\Plesk\\Additional\\PleskPHP5\\php-cgi.exe
\nFor perl :
\nC:\\Program Files (x86)\\Parallels\\Plesk\\Additional\\Perl\\bin\\perl.exe”
\nFor ASP or .NET page :
\nC:\\Windows\\system32\\cscript.exe<\/p>\n>>Arguments<\/strong>:C:\\Inetpub\\vhosts\\mydomain.tld\\httpdocs\\myscript.php
\nReplace mydomain.tld with your domain name, and myscript.php with the appropriate subfolder(s) (if any) and filename.<\/p>\n>>Task Priority<\/strong>: Select Low, Normal or High.<\/p>\n
>>Specify when to run your command by selecting the appropriate checkboxes in the Hours, Days of month, Months<\/strong> or Days of week<\/strong> fields.<\/p>\n
>>Click OK<\/strong> to schedule the task or click Run Now<\/strong> to schedule the task and immediately run it.<\/p>\n
You will be taken back to the Scheduled Tasks screen and you should see your new scheduled task listed at the bottom.<\/p>\n
