Windows Task Scheduler

In Windows systems you should use the Task Scheduler to run the queue processor at one minute intervals.

Create the RunQ Batch File

c:\wamp\bin\php\php5.5.121\php.exe c:\wamp\www\runq.php

Name this batch file runq.bat and save it to the root of Watch My Domains SED installation folder.

"C:\Program Files\GnuWin32\bin\wget.exe" -q -O - "http://localhost/runq.php?key=f3c56c0741c6f3b4&ajax"

Open the Windows shell / command line and execute the runq.bat script after changing your directory to where Watch My Domains SED is installed. Make sure that it runs without any error. Do not proceed further unless you get this working.

Create a VB Script File

If you run the batch file directly from the Task Scheduler, it will popup an ugly looking Window. So we will use a VB script that runs the batch file in a hidden window.

Use a text editor to create a VBS file containing the following. Again, remember to replace the path to runq.bat with your path.

Dim WinScriptHost
Set WinScriptHost = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WinScriptHost.Run Chr(34) & "c:\wamp\www\runq.bat" & Chr(34), 0
Set WinScriptHost = Nothing

Name this VBS file runq.vbs and save it to the root of Watch My Domains SED installation folder. You should test this also from the Windows command line before proceeding.

Create the Task Scheduler Event

schtasks /create /sc minute /mo 1 /tn "SED Queue Processor" /tr "c:\wamp\www\runq.vbs"

The above will create a task that will execute the runq.vbs every minute.

Check the Task Scheduler

You can open the task scheduler UI from the start menu and verify that the SED processor task is setup and running properly. Please see the attached screen shot.

Make sure that you see the Operation completed successfully message under the "Last Run Result" column.
