hi,

i hope this is the right forum for this kind of question...

i'm trying to create a windows scheduled task that runs a web page every *2 hours or so. so i've installed lynx (low overhead browser) with the intention of creating a bat file that i launch from the schedule manager which directs lynx to the page. ideally i'd like the bat file to close lynx down after *0 minutes or so - but i have no idea how to do that

the prob is that when i run the bat file that launches lynx i get "access to the specified device, path, or file is denied". i get the same error when just trying to start ie from the bat file too.

all this is happening on win2000 machine with sygate firewall installed

does anyone know how to let my bat gain access without opening up security holes? is it a firewall issue?

thanks in advance,

ben
