So guys, I got it sending emails via smtp through my gmail account! I have it parsing my schedule file... And I have it in a .bat file being scheduled to run every hour by schtask. But there's one last hurdle: When I double click the BAT file it runs fine, but when I run it via schtask it doesn't do anything. I can tell it is running because a command window pops up for a split second. Any ideas why it isn't running? Thanks, Alex -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
