Hello,

I have a need to kill a process at a certain time of day every day. I have got everything worked out for the new service except the event trigger.

Is there a simple way to set an event to fire everyday at a certain time? I have looked at System.timer but would like just to pass a variable of time and the event will fire every 24hours. I dont want the service to have any load on the server exept when it is time to kill the process.

Thanks in advance

I understand that you have a service (windows) to do this task e.g. kill a given task at a given time.
There are many solutions:

1)add a time scheduler and use it in the service
2)-use Task Scheduler to run at certain time a .bat file in which you only say
Code:
echo "" >file.ctl
[/ctl]
  - use SystemFileWatcher to watch for the creation of the file.ctl (few lines of code) and then kill the desired process and also delete the file.ctl;

I was hoping for an eligant function call to .NET
