Does visualcron come with function like crontab + Wget?

for example i wanna execute a url in crontab i would use:

wget http://www.example.com/cron.php

or

wget -O - -q -t 1 http://www.example.com/cron.php

or a line similar depend on task.

Does visualcron has this function?

if not will it ever get implemented?

WGET is using normal GET over HTTP or HTTPS. You can do the same with HTTP Task.

Not right now. We are working on some kind of loop method for this.

It would work if the came as separate files (with one url in each) into one folder.

We need one per line. It is the loop part that is the problem. We will address this in the upcoming months.

You need one Job, with about 1000 tasks run after each other?

99% or so are at an hour interval

and yes, they will have to run like one after another so as not to kill itself?

Edit: i was refering to server and the computer it run on

If you have some programming skills it would probably take you 10 minutes to create something with the help of VisualCron API.

Are you able to use any .NET language?

Hi,

i did not see an api build into it.

it will take longer then expected to key it in.

Edit: it might be better if form field does not recognize Tab space or next line at the beginning and omit it.

such as
"
asasa"

or " asasa"

Regards,
Feilex
