Using Scheduled Tasks in DotNetPanel to Trigger the Execution of a URL

This text will guide you through the process of adding a scheduled task in DotNetPanel to execute a URL at a specific time or at specified intervals. The URL can be a full website address pointing to any web page.

Step 1:

• Log in to your control panel.
• Click on “Scheduled Tasks.”

Step 2:

• This will open the Scheduled Tasks page.
• Here, click on “Add Scheduled Task.”

Step 3:

• Now you are on the Scheduled Task Properties page where you can make configurations.
• Provide a name for your task.
• Select “Check Web Site Availability” from the dropdown menu of “Task Type.”
• After changing the “Task Type,” the page will refresh and update other input fields.

Step 4:

• Enter the complete URL of your file in the following format:
• http://www.yourdomain.com/myfile.aspx
• The file or page can be uploaded or modified later.
• Files that can be browsed with a browser (e.g., html, asp, aspx, php) can be used here with their COMPLETE URL. For example, if your domain is abc.com and your file (myfile.aspx) is located under wwwroot/myschedule, the COMPLETE URL for this file would be:
• http://www.abc.com/myschedule/myfile.aspx
• Finally, specify a scheduled time to execute this URL. You can execute the URL on any of the following bases:
• Daily
• Weekly
• Monthly
• Once (Single-time execution)
• Interval basis (Hour / Minute)

• Choose the desired execution interval and provide an execution time. Then click the “Save” button. Your scheduled task is now set to execute according to the provided schedule.

Note: There are a few other inputs on this configuration page, but they are not related to our requirement.
