利用global.asp定时执行ASP 时间：2004/11/7 4:10:00来源：本站整理作者：蓝点我要评论(0): Using the global.asa to schedule ASP code execution.

Have you ever had some asp code that needed to execute every once in a while but, you just didn't know how to do it.

There is a solution that doesn't involve running any scheduling or scripting software on the server and is actually very easy to get working.

You see...  there is thing called the "global.asa". Most ASP newbies probably wonder what the heck it even is. The Global.asa file is event driven. It can contain four event procedures: Application_OnStart, Application_OnEnd, Session_OnStart, and Session_OnEnd.

The global.asa is basically loaded into memory the first time any user views a page on your Web application. There are event procedure stubs that can contain script you want to be executed when the application starts or ends, or when the session starts or ends.

With some tricky coding you can use this file to schedule code to execute. At least around the time you need it to, this won't be able to make it execute at exactly a certain time.

Here is the 1st example. It simply keeps track of how many visitors have been to your site and after 100 it resets the count back to 0 and executes whatever code you need to run. Obviously you'll need to adjust the "100" to whatever makes sense for the amount of visitors your site receives.

Contents of the global.asa are below.

Now lets say you want something to execute 4 times a day. You can store the date & time in a text file and check it periodically. When the date and time get to be more than 6 hours old the code will write the new date & time to the text file and then execute the code you want to run. You could change the "6" to whatever you want and therefore execute the code more or less often,

This is a pretty slick solution though it requires correct permissions to the text file for reading & writing. If not you'll get an error.

In this example we are checking the text file every 15 visitors. You can adjust this amount or remove the "check" completely so that it checks the file every time, but why check the file every time when you have a very busy site ? That would just be a waste of server resources ,but it is up to you how far you want to take this.

In this example you need to start the text file off with a valid date& time or else you will get an error because the script will read in an empty value the 1st time.

EXAMPLE: put  6/30/99 6:58:45 PM in the 1st line of the text file.

You could add code to check for that and handle the error, but I didn't really care at the time so I didn't do that. As long as there is a date there when it starts it will keep working.

Contents of the global.asa are below.

Please Note: There are many ways to make this better and many different possible variations of what to check for before executing the desired code. This article should get you started and give you some ideas.

Also remember that if the web is not set up to run as an application the "global.asa" will not run. You'll need to make sure the web is an application. Most Virtual Domains are by default, but sub webs usually are not.

For the sub webs to run the 'global.asa" they need to be an application as the root usually is. In NT this is accomplished via the Internet Service Manager under the properties of the sub web you want to make an application.

Here is what it looks like in IIS4.

One Last Thing:  Before you put any code in your Global.asa to execute during events test it first in a regular ".asp" page. If it doesn't run there it sure isn't going to run in your global.asa. Also make sure you file paths are correct for the text file. Everything has to be perfect for this sort of thing to work.

Good Luck
