Running Email Queue Process on a Windows Server

I had tried several ways to call the process_mail_queue.php
from the broswer, but didn't really care for any of them.
Python Cron has a great interface to give me true
"cron" abilities and hasn't croaked on me yet.
That way I can accept Bryan's eventum code and use it
without modification on my part at all.

Best of luck!

Jim

I ended up using the Scheduled task, though when running the
process, 
the IE window was left open.  This caused the task to be
"running" at 
all times, stopping it from re-running at scheduled
intervals.

I had to add some javascript to the php file to self close
the window.  
There is a 'feature' in javascript that prompts the user
before closing 
the window, so I used a workaround I found.  Might be a bit
of a 
hack-job, but it works.

<script language="javascript">
    window.opener = window;
    window.close();
</script>
