    Getting a scheduled exe file to publish to an Umbraco installation

    Hi,

    Here's an interesting one, I need to write a scheduled task for a site to pull down xml, transform it, and publish it to a site. The built in scheduler in Umbraco isn't really sturdy enough for what I'm thinking of, ideally I'd like to have it as an EXE file that I can run using the windows task scheduling service.

    Is it possible, using the Umbraco API, to publish to an installation of Umbraco on the server from an external EXE file?

    I've got a similar situation, and I don't think you can quite do what you suggested. Publishing has to happen from within the umbraco site. I wound up adding a web service to my umbraco installation and calling that from the scheduled exe.

    Here's a helpful post for that.

    Thanks for the link!

    That's pretty much what I was leaning towards doing, good to see that I'm not miles off on my thinking!

    :)
