OpenURL via Server Side Script

[Mark DeNyse]

Should the OpenURL script step actually work in a server side script? I created a script to launch a web page but anytime the script is run as a schedule, it fails with error 4. If I run it manually, it works fine (yes, I'm using the same account). I do have the "Perform without dialog" checkbox turned on.

I also tried using web viewer to accomplish the same thing (with a Set Web Viewer script step), but that gives me error -1.

My reasons for doing this is to run a php script once a day. Since the server is a Windows box I can't use AppleScript, and I don't have a clue how to write an external script in Windows to simply go to an URL.

Anyone have any help/ideas?

Why dont you just use Windows Scheduler to open a shortcut to a URL where your PHP script would run.

Also I forgot to mention, I believe that new versions of PHP has as part of an additional install the capability to run command line executions.
