First, thanks for making Abyss available. As a user of Windoze XP Home, Microsoft has seen fit to deny me a built-in Web server. Abyss is great, and with the outstanding documentation, I was up and running with PHP and ASP running in no time.

OK...on to the question:

Are cron jobs possible on Abyss? Is there any equivalent to a crontab file?

Thanks in advance for the help.

We're really pleased to know that you like Abyss Web Server.
Crontab (or task scheduler) is not part of a web server. It is an operating system service (crontab was long available on UNIX systems before the invention of the web :wink: ).
On Windows, there is an equivalent. It is called "Task Scheduler" and is accessible from the control panel (Start -> Control Panel -> Scheduler Tasks). For a tutorial on how to use it, you can read http://windows.about.com/library/weekly/aa001022a.htm or just consult browse the help of XP.
