    Hi , I currently run a windows vps sever , unfortunatly I also run a script that uses chronjobs to clear a few upload folders once per day. To get passed this problem I have installed python on my vps server , and created a simple python script that loads my "chron job" url , I then put this python script as a windows task once per day.

    Is there a better way to do this? It seems a little messy :p

    well there's CRONw - cronw.sourceforge.net/
    and also Zcron - here's a tutorial w/ download lin - makeuseof.com/tag/bring-linux-cron-like-power-to-windows/
    You could also used Scheduled Tasks (built into windows)
