Problem: I can execute my runSpider.bat file in NT from D:\Program
files\python\mine\spider
using command line interface just fine - here's runspider.bat:
python "D:\Program files\python\mine\spider\mySpider.py"
Here's mySpider.py:
import urllib
urllib.urlretrieve('http://www.time.org','time.html')
this works nicely & copies the html page at www.time.org to D:\Program
files\python\mine\spider.
My problem is when I try to schedule this to run on a daily basis by
using the NT command line AT:
at 16:00 /Every:m,t,w,th,f,s,su "d:program
files\python\mine\spider\runSpider.bat"
nothing seems to happen, i.e., scheduler does not seem to kick in, no
file gets created, not sure what happened.
Clues for the clueless?
thanks
