How to set up a cron job on Windows

3 Replies

As you probably know, the easiest way to implement automatic monitoring of your services is by creating a periodic job on your system. On Linux-based machines this is quite easy, and lots of hosting panels provide web-based configuration tools. But on Windows, setting up a cron job can be a real pain. One user of PHP Server Monitor, Robert Inzano, has taken the time to put together a step by step tutorial on how to set up cronjobs on Windows. Please see attached PDF file for the complete walk-through.

Robert, thanks for your time and effort!

Call for translators: v3.1 coming up

1 Reply

Hi,

A new minor release (v3.1) is coming up soon with a couple of amazing features (e.g. Pushover.net support), and I am looking for some assistance updating the translations. So far, PHP Server Monitor has been translated into 12 languages (from 3.1 this will also include Russian and Danish), but some languages need to be reviewed and updated. If you have some spare time and are fluent in one of these exotic languages, please consider donating a minute of your time to help me ship v3.1 with up-to-date translations. If your language is not on the list, new languages are also very much welcome.

The following languages require reviewing/updating:

  • Bulgarian
  • Chinese
  • German
  • Italian
  • Korean
  • Portuguese
  • Spanish

If you are familiar with git, clone the develop branch of the Github repo and send me a pull request. If you have no idea what git is, but still would like to help out: copy one of the files from this page and email me (pep[at]neanderthal-technology.com) with an updated version.

For a full list of changes, please visit the changelog at Github.

Thanks,
Pep
