Adding tasks to Windows scheduler with PHP

Question

I'm unable to find any information on adding tasks to Windows Task Scheduler with PHP. I can use exec().

This has to work on IIS.

Answer 1

Syntax for schtasks

Schtasks /create /sc ScheduleType /tn TaskName /tr TaskRun [/s Computer [/u [Domain\]User [/p Password]]] [/ru {[Domain\]User | System}] [/rp Password] [/mo Modifier] [/d Day[,Day...] | *] [/m Month[,Month...]] [/i IdleTime] [/st StartTime] [/ri Interval] [{/et EndTime | /du Duration} [/k]] [/sd StartDate] [/ed EndDate] [/it] [/Z] [/F]

You can use

$cmd = 'schtasks /create blah blah blah...';
exec ($cmd);
