Hi all,
I would like to know according to you, what's the best method to execute a java operation daily.
I need to export a mySQL table in a txt file through JDBC every day at 00:00. Export the table it is not a problem, but I don't know how to execute the operation every day at that exact time.
Can someone help me? Thanks.
Augusto.
XP must have some kind of corresponding functionality.But this is a Windows question, not a Java question. Maybe someone here knows but you might be better off asking on a Windows forum.
I suppose you could create a Java program that starts on host startup and which invokes some functionality at certain times, but that seems like a roundabout way of solving the problem.

I understand... anyways I would prefer to do this in Java, if it's possible...

Wow, very interesting... thanks yawmark, I will try to use it.
Does someone know other ways?

Yes, you are right... I'm using Windows, but actually I think that I would not use cron either if I was using linux. Ii would like to solve this problem with java, to allow the program to be executed on multiple OS...
any other ideas?

Competing Products?
There are no known competing open source projects (there are a few schedulers, but they are basically Cron replacements written in Java).
Commercially, you may want to look at the [url=http://www.fluxcorp.com/]Flux scheduler[/url].
