Re: [Lynx-dev] reset script

[Stef Caunter]

public_html is not exposed by the web server, it defines externally visible web 
space on the internal file system; this is why the URL does not work.

While lynx does provide a much nicer scriptable interface for this kind of 
thing, it isn't impossible to script with IE:

create a file called 'reset.vbs'

Dim shell
Set shell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
shell.Run """C:\Program Files\Internet 
Explorer\IExplore.exe""http://www.peterlue.com/reset.php?reset=peter";

and schedule it. Kind of off topic, but since you are probably not on a unix 
system, use task scheduler.
